Known and loved for their accessibility, New World wines are on the rise, and Argentina is happily part of the growing trend. It benefits from unique conditions of high altitudes and sun that allow the grape varieties to shine. It’s also getting a lot of attention because of its adventurous producers looking for new playgrounds for their vines. We suggest you explore this wonderful land through this Chardonnay, both mouth filling and fresh, perfect for both aperitif and dish.

Wine region with the largest number of vineyards in South America, Cuyo represents 95% of the planted area and includes the zones of Cruz de Piedra, Maipú, and Mendoza. Summers are hot and rainfall is low.

From the Peñaflor wine group, Mascota offers a complex and well-balanced Chardonnay, opening with aromas of crisp pear, pineapple and lemon blossom. There is also a subtle layer of sweet vanilla from the 9-month aging in French and American barrels.

From aperitif to dinner

This elegant and round wine showcasing a good acidity is divine with many local cheeses. We also like it with braised pork or grilled shrimp.
