Pascual Toso, Mendoza (Argentina) Chardonnay 2021

Nov 9, 2022

By Rich Cook

 Argentina is about much more than Malbec.  Cabernet, Bonarda, and Torrontes probably come to mind, but Chardonnay might not occur to you right away.  Pascual Toso’s "Alta" is a wine that could move the variety up in your mind — not just in Argentina, but in general.  It’s bright and rich all at once, with purity of varietal character, butter that complements without overtaking, moderate oak spice and toast, and a long mouthwatering finish that keeps me coming back.  Bravo!
