Chardonnay fans can get excited. This stunning example from Pyros will tantalize your senses. A nose overflowing with complexity. A flavor that dominates. Jasmine, ripe pear, Granny Smith, soft peach, and distinct minerality. Perfect with light dishes like poultry or fish. But the Pyros Valle de Pedernal Chardonnay also shines when enjoyed on its own.

Pyros wines from Argentina

Pyros wines have a Dutch touch. It was none other than Mijndert Pon (yes, the one from Bodegas Salentein) who discovered the unique vineyards in the Pedernal Valley. This isolated valley is located about a two-hour drive north of Mendoza. Thanks to its altitude of up to 1500 meters, its unique microclimate, and its chalky terroir, Mijndert Pon decided to start producing Argentine wines here in 2008 under the name Pyros Wines.

A Chardonnay wine from Pyros

Look, the blue Malbec is the undisputed star of Argentine wines. But Argentina also has a white grape that's slowly becoming a national star: the Chardonnay. Thanks to the altitude of the vineyards, the Chardonnay thrives. Mijndert Pon planted this all-rounder in the vineyards of Pedernal Valley, at an altitude of 1300 meters. Here, the sun shines brightly during the day, while a cool breeze drifts over the vines at night. Nevertheless, it never gets too hot in the vineyards; a maximum of 20 degrees Celsius. This is precisely what gives Pyros Valle de Pedernal Chardonnay the perfect combination of refreshing and a full-bodied white wine.

Buy Pyros Valle de Pedernal Chardonnay wine

The Pedernal Valley terroir features limestone, minerals, and flint, giving the full-bodied Chardonnay bunches a unique character. After harvest, the wine is fermented using a modern method. However, approximately one-third of the wine is aged in oak, split 50/50 between American and French oak. This gives Pyros Valle de Pedernal Chardonnay that touch of "je ne sais quoi," making it incredibly distinctive.
