Chardonnay 2013
The 2013 Chardonnay from Alamos is produced with 20% fruit of Lujan de Cuyo (Agrelo) and the rest for the Valle de Uco, harvested over a period of a month given the altitude and soil differences between the different zones. It ferments in stainless-steel and large cement vats (for one third of the wine) with some 30% of the wine undergoing malolactic fermentation. It's a textbook, subtly oaked Chardonnay from a cool vintage and cooler vineyards where you feel the influence of the vibrant juice from the Uco Valley and even chalky minerality. Very nice balance, easy to drink and fresh. They use some second- and third-use 500-liter oak barrels to age a portion of the wine, while the rest is kept in stainless with some 20% inner staves to produce around 420,000 bottles.
