On the attack you taste the fruit followed by medium-plus acidity along with slight tartness on the finish.

A blend to try to experience the interaction of chardonnay and semillon in warm-climate Argentina as compared to cooler-climate Bordeaux where this white blend is more common.

This wine was aged for 14 months in new French oak barrels.
