Winemaker Notes
This Chardonnay is lemon-yellow with a bright green hue. Its aroma expresses tropical fruits with notes of toasted almonds and honey, given its aging in French oak. The palate is intense and smooth, with balanced acidity and a long elegant finish.

This offers an array of fresh white pears and peaches with a smooth, juicy and succulent array of melon and more tropical notes. The texture is full and balanced.

The Pulenta family has been a prominent and respected force in Argentine viticulture for three generations. Sons of well-known winegrower Antonio Pulenta, and descendants of Italian immigrants, Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta founded Pulenta Estate in 2002. The vineyards are estate-owned and farmed for high quality and limited yields. Their extensive holdings in the Agrelo area of Lujan de Cuyo have allowed them to create a broad portfolio that includes sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, chardonnay and malbec rose; merlot, cabernet franc, malbec and cabernet sauvignon in several tiers and even a late harvest red blend.
