{"product_id":"chacra-chardonnay-2025","title":"Chacra Chardonnay 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eBodega Chacra was founded in 2004 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, grandson of the family behind Tuscany's legendary Sassicaia. Inspired by his grandfather's deep respect for nature and pioneering sustainable viticulture, Piero envisioned wines that expressed the purest sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiero's restored vineyards sit in Patagonia's Rio Negro Valley, in the village of Mainqué. Originally planted in 1932 and 1955, these ancient ungrafted vines have been revived through organic and biodynamic farming. Deeply rooted in sandy soils, they produce naturally low yields of intensely expressive fruit — wines of extraordinary energy, purity, and profound connection to their origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2017, Piero has partnered with renowned Burgundian vigneron Jean-Marc Roulot to plant, farm, and vinify Chardonnay. This friendship has become one of the world's most exciting collaborations, producing benchmark Chardonnay alongside Chacra's celebrated Pinot Noirs. Fruit is hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts in concrete, handled gently by gravity, and bottled with minimal intervention — allowing each vineyard to speak with clarity, elegance, and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChacra Chardonnay 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 40 year old vines with alluvial stones covered in calcaire. The wine is intense and energetic, high pitched and lively, round and austere, refined and mineral. It has a dry mouthfeel and a saltiness natural to the area. 20% in concrete eggs, 15% in stainless steel and the remainder in new and used French oak for 10 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Wow. This is really complex, with sliced apples, lemons, flint, stones and a hint of limes on the nose. It's floral and aromatic with white flowers. Long, long finish. Complex and thoughtful. Drink or hold.\"\u003c\/em\u003e — 99pts James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRio Negro Valley, Patagonia, Argentina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50462360240321,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Chacra_Chardonnay_2025.webp?v=1785921341","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/chacra-chardonnay-2025","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
