Semillón and Chenin Blanc used to be the two most widely planted white grape varieties in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza´s historical region for premium wines. Semillón came to Argentina in the 19th century and was planted in field blends with Malbec as it was in France. A century ago, the blend of Semillón and Chenin Blanc constituted the classic white wine of Argentina. Catena Appellation White Clay is our modern interpretation of this classic, a wine with intense minerality, good grip on the palate and richly textured.

"Medium gold hue with a light honeyed tone with waxed lemon and fine lees. Creamy and round on the medium-bodied palate with fresh, medium acidity. Drink now." James Suckling, 92 Points

"The 2022 Sémillon-Chenin White Clay Appellation Luján de Cuyo is a blend of 60% Sémillon and 40% Chenin. Yellow with a golden sheen. The aromatic profile presents honey and wet wool notes over layers of dried flowers. The palate is lean and refreshing with a lively flow creating a compact, nimble mouthfeel. A delightfully novel white." Vinous Media, 92 Points
