The Montrachet of Argentina with incredible dried fruit, stones and limestone. Full body, layered and powerful. It has a phenolic backbone and velvety texture. Bright acidity. A white wine that is like a great red. Goes on for minutes. From limestone rich soils in the Gualtallary region. 2,000 bottles.

White Bones is sourced from the easterly section of the Adrianna Vineyard and tends to be weightier than its stable mate, White Stones, seeing 100% malolactic. This is a superb Chardonnay, with power and concentration balanced by freshness and chalky minerality. Long and complex, it has the struck match notes that are so reminiscent of Burgundy. 2016-20

This is from just 100 m away from the white stones, and it’s completely different. So fresh, floral and mineral with lovely precision and fine lemony fruit. There’s a really lovely mineral quality here with a stony edge and taut citrus fruits, as well as some subtle mint characters lurking. There’s a really fine lemony finish that just keeps on going. A beautiful wine with concentration, purity and finesse.
