Driven by the vision of the third generation, Sofia and Lucila Pescarmonathe winery has traveled an incessant path positioning itself as a benchmark in family winery of fresh, feminine wines with character, designed to be paired with gastronomy.
Lagarde Chardonnay
It comes from Perdriel, a micro-region in the department of Luján de Cuyo, from vineyards planted in 1993, at a height of 980 meters above sea level.
It is yellow with golden highlights, it has an elegant and delicate mouth. It is unctuous, but at the same time refreshing. It does not go through wood, which allows its natural and floral aromas to remind us of citrus and tropical fruits, such as pineapple.
We recommend it to accompany fresh salads, poultry-based dishes with creamy sauces or white fish.
Current vintage: 2021.
Suggested price: $1,750.
Guarda, Chardonnay Vineyards Collection
This label is part of a selection of wines created from specially selected vineyards to produce high-end reds and whites, in small quantities. It is born in Gualtallary, in the department of Tupungato, which is part of the Uco Valley, where the height is 1,350 meters.
It is a yellow Chardonnay with golden reflections and greenish touches. 60% of this wine spent 12 months in new and used French oak barrels, demonstrating the aging potential of this variety.
