WINE DESCRIPTION
Pulenta Estate Chardonnay (VIII) is a premium white wine produced by the Pulenta Estate winery. The grapes are sourced from their own vineyards located in the prestigious Mendoza appellation of Argentina. The vineyards are situated at high altitudes, which results in cooler nights and longer ripening period, allowing the grapes to develop complex flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in French oak barrels, followed by aging on lees for several months. The resulting wine is a rich and elegant Chardonnay with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and vanilla, balanced by a refreshing acidity. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Pulenta Estate
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
