2023 Bodega Chacra Mainque Chardonnay
Mainqué is aged in first and second-year Damy barrels from Jean-Marc Roulot. Malolactic fermentation is blocked in this Chardonnay, helping to preserve the snap and crystalline traits that form the energetic backbone of the wine.
About Bodega Chacra
When Jean-Marc Roulot joined his friend Piero Incisa della Rocchetta in Patagonia to consult on a Chardonnay cuvée, there was understandably a lot of buzz. Piero has made a name for Bodega Chacra by crafting the most elegant and Burgundian-like wines I've tasted from South America. They are Patagonia's model for spare no expense viticulture and vinification. All parcels are farmed following organic and biodynamic principles.
