Under the watchful gaze of the Andes Mountains, the Mendoza region of Argentina grows some of the most expressive Bordeaux varietal grapes in the world. Though best known for its Malbec, the region’s Chardonnay wines also shine, particularly those made with care from quality wineries like Trapiche. From high elevations vineyards in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, the sustainably grown Trapiche Gran Medalla Chardonnay showcases the cooling influence the location brings to the fruit, producing a wine with elegance and refinement.

The wine opens with citrus blossom, and tropical and orchard fruit aromas, followed by layers of apple, mango, brioche, and spice flavors.  High elevations ensure the wine has freshness and acidity, lifting the palate from the start to the finish while cutting through the natural richness of the oak-aged wine. Pair with roasted chicken, fish, or roasted pork tenderloin with apples. #Cheers
