Argento is one of the few wines that can claim international brand status. It comes from Argentina – the land of Silver. Its ripe Chardonnay grapes are grown in the Mendoza region, on the eastern slopes of the Andes mountains at around 3,000 feet. There is little rainfall but water is drawn from subterranean streams.

Argento Chardonnayt has a brilliant gold colour and a delightful aroma of citrus and some floral notes, before a rewardingly full-bodied palate of grapefruit and lime and a fresh, satisfying finish.

Food guide: As an aperitif, with shrimps, prawns, crabs and langoustines, or with poultry.

Cellar Note: Drink now but will keep well for 12 – 18 months.
