White Bones
• Andean Fossil Fire
Nicolás Catena’s relentless quest unearthed the Adrianna Vineyard at 5,000 feet, where ancient bones whisper secrets to the stars.
This Chardonnay just stormed #43 on James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of 2025, proving Argentina’s mountains brew Burgundy’s rivals.
Hand-harvested Chardonnay from calcareous soils riddled with fossils, fermented wild and aged under flor; no oak to mask the raw Andean pulse.
Lime zest ignites crushed stone and electric brine in a savage ballet of purity and power.
Sipped by sommeliers chasing horizon ghosts, this is the veiled thunder of elevations elite, a phantom grace that haunts the finest linen.
Summon the ceviche or seared scallops, this White Bones was sculpted to slash through seafood with feral precision.
