Luca, Chardonnay G Lot 2024 White

Luca Chardonnay G Lot 2024 is a refined high-altitude Chardonnay from Gualtallary in Argentina’s Uco Valley, where the combination of intense sunlight, cool nights, and limestone-rich soils creates exceptional balance and precision. Spontaneous fermentation and extended ageing on the lees in French oak add depth, texture, and an elegant, world-class polish to this premium white wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright golden-yellow color with clear brilliance. The nose is expressive and layered, opening with lemon cream, white peach, and baked pear, followed by vanilla, brioche, toasted almonds, and a distinctive mineral edge that reflects the calcareous soils of Gualtallary. The palate is powerful yet silky, with a beautiful balance between creamy richness and vibrant tension. Notes of ripe apple, pineapple, and melon are supported by subtle toast, vanilla, and nutmeg, while the lees ageing lends a supple, rounded texture. The finish is long, elegant, and mineral-driven, with lingering citrus, stone fruit, and chalky freshness. This wine has excellent ageing potential and will continue to gain complexity over several years.

Production
Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Gualtallary, where the vines grow at more than 1,500 meters above sea level, the wine benefits from a terroir that delivers ripe fruit, crisp acidity, and a pronounced limestone character. The grapes are harvested to preserve freshness and aromatic purity, then spontaneously fermented and matured for twelve months on the lees, mainly in French oak barrels, which adds complexity, structure, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This is a gastronomic Chardonnay that pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, grilled fish, creamy pasta dishes, or poultry in a butter sauce. Serve it chilled at around 10–12°C to highlight both its freshness and depth, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help reveal its full aromatic complexity.
