Wine Spectator

Aaron Romano

This white offers plenty of crunchy acidity and minerality. Its core flavors of pineapple, quince and Meyer lemon are accented by hints of buttered pastry. Finishes pure and clean, with slate and spice details. Nice length. Drink now through 2036. 570 cases made, 225 cases imported.

James Suckling

Zekun Shuai

This is always minerally and incisive and very different from White Bones. This is more classic chardonnay, with lots of freshly squeezed lemons, wet stone, flint and seashells. Brisk acidity on a medium- to full-bodied palate. Tense and intense, but this is acid-driven with a fine touch of salinity that lingers at the end. Drink or hold.

Joaquín Hidalgo

The 2022 Chardonnay Adrianna Vineyard White Stones hails from a cool and slightly dry vintage in the Uco Valley. Sourced from a small gravel and limestone plot in Gualtallary, it displays a green hue in the glass. Its aromas feature lime, green apple and herbs, with subtle notes of ginger and acacia. Dry, nimble and refreshing, the chalky texture enlivens the slightly lean palate, with a long-lasting, fruit-driven finish. A high-altitude wine, the 2022 growing season brought an extra layer of freshness to this Chardonnay.

Virginie Boone

At almost 5,000-feet elevation in the cool of the region, growing deep in rocky soils, the light-bodied 2022 Chardonnay Adrianna Vineyard White Stones features compellingly grippy texture that excites the palate. Like its sister, White Bones, it sees 12-16 months in used French oak barrel, coaxing a light touch of spice from the wood. Herbal, earthy, and textural above all, it sings in buzzy acidity and yet retains a refined mouthfeel of length and complex angles, digging deep into ethereal flavors of lemon rind and wet stone. Drink now through 2042. This is incredibly delicious.

Jesica Vargas

Located at 5,000 feet in the Uco Valley, the Adrianna vineyard is the source of the winery's most renowned wines. This refined Chardonnay lives up to its reputation, showcasing a bouquet that includes honeysuckle and subtle mandarin peel, highlighted by sweet spices. Delicate citrus and herbal notes blend with cedar and a touch of ginger on the vibrant palate before a finish with hints of salt.

The estate

Founded in 1902 by the Catena family, Bodega Catena Zapata has established itself as the undisputed benchmark of Argentine viticulture. Owned by Nicolás Catena and his daughter Laura, the fourth generation at the helm of the estate, the bodega farms high-altitude vineyards reaching up to 1,500 meters in Mendoza, revealing exceptional terroirs. A pioneer in the revival of malbec, the estate combines rigorous scientific research—conducted by the Catena Institute of Wine since 1995—with environmentally respectful practices. Named “World’s Best Vineyard” in 2023 and “Most Admired Brand” in 2025, it embodies Argentine wine excellence.

The vineyard

This wine comes from the Adrianna Vineyard, considered the most studied terroir in the world, located in Gualtallary in the region of Mendoza. More specifically, it is sourced from 27 selected rows in “Block 1” of this 2.5-hectare parcel. Perched at 1,450 meters above sea level, this vineyard sits on limestone soils covered with characteristic oval white stones that give the wine its distinctive minerality and remarkable freshness.

Vinification and aging

After vinification, the Adrianna "White Stones" Chardonnay 2022 undergoes aging on lees for 45 to 95 days. The wine is then aged for 12 to 16 months in second- and third-use French oak barrels, preserving the pure expression of fruit and terroir without imparting overly pronounced woody notes.

Grape variety

This Argentine white wine is 100% chardonnay.
