Description

San Felipe chardonnay barrel select wine is a well known Argentinean wine line produced by Bodega ‘La Rural’, one of the country’s oldest and most historic wineries, founded in 1885 by Felipe Rutini. San Felipe represents a traditional, widely recognised range of wines from Argentina, particularly associated with the Mendoza region, the heart of the country’s wine industry. The vineyards benefit from high-altitude conditions near the Andes, with strong sunlight and temperature variation that help produce high-quality grapes. The San Felipe chardonnay barrel select label dates back to the early 20th century and is one of the oldest brands within the winery’s portfolio. It has become a symbol of Argentine winemaking heritage, combining long-standing tradition with modern production techniques.

Aging: 3 months in french oak.

Notes

TASTING NOTES: This wine displays a brilliant straw-yellow hue with golden reflections. The nose is expressive and elegant, offering aromas of ripe pear, citrus blossom, and a subtle touch of toasted almond. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant acidity balanced by a creamy texture, with flavours of stone fruits and a delicate mineral finish that adds complexity and length.
