Catena Appellation White Clay Semillon-Chenin is a unique and texturally intriguing white blend that pays homage to the historic vineyard sites of Luján de Cuyo. The name "White Clay" refers to the specific soil composition of the 90-year-old vineyard in Agrelo, where the clay-rich earth provides both water retention and a distinct mineral tension. It offers a complex bouquet of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with nuanced notes of honeycomb, ginger, and a subtle flinty smokiness. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied with a remarkable waxy texture characteristic of Semillon, balanced by the vibrant, high-toned acidity of Chenin Blanc, leading to a long, savory, and mineral-driven finish.
