Escorihuela Gascón Gran Reserva Chardonnay: Radiant Elegance from the Andes

Escorihuela Gascón Gran Reserva Chardonnay captures the essence of Mendoza’s finest terroirs. Sourced from the winery’s estate in Agrelo, a lower-altitude area in Luján de Cuyo, the vineyard benefits from cool Andean winds that funnel through the site due to a protective hill to the east. This creates a cold microclimate with excellent diurnal temperature variation, ideal for achieving exceptional ripeness and natural acidity.

The soil is homogeneous, ranging from clay-rich to sandy-loam textures, allowing optimal rainwater retention and drainage. These conditions support balanced vine growth, leading to wines with great mouthfeel, structure, aging potential, and a true sense of place.

In the glass, this Chardonnay shines with a bright yellow hue and golden reflections. On the nose, it reveals expressive notes of lime, pear, and pineapple, layered with orange blossom, linden flower, and delicate aromas of honey, toasted nuts, and mineral hints from its time in French oak barrels.

On the palate, it is creamy and refreshing, with rich flavors of vanilla, baked apple, white peach, and a subtle buttery note. Its texture is silky yet energized by a vibrant acidity, delivering structure, precision, and depth. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering fruity and mineral aftertaste.

Aged 50% in French oak barrels for 6 months, this Chardonnay shows remarkable cellaring potential, evolving gracefully over time.

It pairs beautifully with refined American cuisine, such as butter-poached lobster rolls with lemon and tarragon, Maryland crab cakes with citrus aioli, or roasted free-range chicken with truffled cauliflower purée. It also complements a lobster mac & cheese with aged cheddar, a creamy corn chowder with crispy bacon, or a baked brie topped with pecans and wildflower honey.

An excellent choice for those seeking a white wine with structure, freshness, and personality. Perfect for fine dining, celebrations, or as a sophisticated gift
