Chardonnay 2020

AVERAGE AGE OF VINES: 28 YEARS
AVERAGE ELEVATION: 5000 FEET

The G-Lot vineyard is located in Gualtallary, in Tupungato in the Uco Valley. The wine is 80% barrel-fermented and 20% tank fermented at very low temperatures with 60% malolactic fermentation. It is aged 12 months in 20% new and 80% 1-year French barrels, aged sur lies. All Luca wines are certified sustainable through Bodegas de Argentina.

Beautiful pale-gold color with enticing aromas of lemon crème, baking spices and some notes of dulce de leche. The aromas carry through to the palate, and are joined by hints of tropical fruit, spiced baked pear, and a stony/mineral flavor that creates a stylish wine that seems part New and part Old World.

Pairs well with most fish, lobster, crab, chicken, and even many pork preparations. Particularly recommended with dishes using sautéed wild mushrooms or butter sauces. This wine will age well for years in a cellar.
