2017 | Michelini i Mufatto | Convicciones Chardonnay

This tan-colored Chardonnay smells smooth and melony, while the palate is round and easygoing but low on verve and acidity.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: There was no 2016 of the Chardonnay from La Cautiva, so I tasted the 2017 Convicciones. It showed strong medicinal and balsamic aromas, some spices and yellow fruit aromas and a round palate with more volume and some fine tannins from ten days of skin contact during the fermentation. It matured in used barriques for 18 months.

• Wine Enthusiast: This tan-colored Chardonnay smells smooth and melony, while the palate is round and easygoing but low on verve and acidity. Melon and peachy flavors finish with that same mild smoothness this exhibits on the palate. Drink now.

Producer Information

Andrea Mufatto and Gerardo Michelini started their winery in 2019 alongside their son Manuel Michelini. They are situated at the foot of the Andes in one of the highest elevations of the Uco Valley where the soil contains some of the richest components of calcium carbonate and granite in all of South America. This particular sub region is at the highest, most western portion of Gualtallary and goes by the name La Cautiva. At Michelini i Mufatto they strive to make some of the most unique wines of Argentina and the wines show tension, elegance and balance. They are currently working with Semillon, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The trio also makes wine in Uruguay and Spain and they are the first family in Argentina to import small production wine from Europe.
