Genessa
Robust and sophisticated wine with a prominent oak and vanilla presence, refined by a racy liveliness that provides a clean contrast. However, the oaky notes overpower the palate, leaving a lingering follow through with a nuanced hint of pineapple.
Sikarin
Robust and creamy Chardonnay with a soft and polished texture, showcasing a rich and inviting nose of peach, banana, lychee, and vanilla, with delicate layers of toast and butter, accompanied by a delightful finish.
Cacel Haelst
Balanced union of rich, full, and creamy notes, tempered by a gentle dash of toasted oak, in contrast a smooth, polished finish rounds out the experience, perfectly complementing the bold hints of grilled swordfish with rosemary and garlic.

Catena Alta Chardonnay is praised for its rich, full-bodied profile with notes of tropical fruits, vanilla, and oak. Many appreciate its creamy texture and balanced acidity, though some find the oak overpowering. While some enjoy its complexity and lingering finish, others feel it can be syrupy or overly sweet. Overall, it's a versatile wine that pairs well with seafood and chicken dishes, offering a satisfying experience for many.
This Catena Alta Chardonnay is an elegant expression of the variety, with aromas of ripe apple, pear, and honeycomb that mingle with creamy oak and toast. On the palate, flavors of lemon curd, ripe melon, and almond biscotti are complemented by a bright acidity and long mineral finish.
