This is a finely etched, cool-climate expression marked by purity and tension. Aromas of green apple, pear and citrus zest are layered with subtle floral notes and a distinct wet-stone minerality. The palate is precise and saline, driven by bright, crystalline acidity and restrained orchard fruit, with gentle texture from careful élevage rather than overt oak. Focused, energetic and long on the finish, it delivers a Chablis-like sense of freshness while remaining unmistakably Patagonian.
"Such a flinty nose that delivers a full package of minerality. Quarry, chalk, gun powder and lime. The nose really speaks to you. Creamy and textured on the palate with bright but chiselled acidity and real tension. One of the best Mainque’s ever? Chacra’s answer to fine Chablis. Drink or hold. From biodynamically grown grapes."
