The 2023 Felino Chardonnay is sourced from select vineyards in Valle de Uco and Luján de Cuyo, two of Mendoza’s most distinguished wine regions. Viña Cobos was founded by the acclaimed American winemaker Paul Hobbs, who first explored Mendoza in 1989 while visiting the Catena family. Captivated by the region’s potential, Hobbs committed to producing wines that showcase the unique terroirs of Argentina, blending Old World techniques with the distinctive climate and soils of Mendoza. His pioneering work in wild fermentation and careful vineyard selection has made Viña Cobos a benchmark for Argentine Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes:
Pale yellow with green highlights, the wine offers aromas of white peach, green apple, white flowers and honeysuckle. The palate is fresh and lively, with a balanced structure and a persistent, elegant finish.
Winemaking:
Whole-cluster pressed, the wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation using natural yeasts. Partial malolactic fermentation is carried out in oak barrels with native yeasts, while the remainder of the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness.
Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pastas, and mild cheeses.
ABV: 14%
