Viña Cobos Felino Chardonnay 2023 is a bright, elegant expression from the high-altitude Uco Valley of Mendoza — one of Argentina's most exciting white wine terroirs. Crafted by Viña Cobos, the celebrated project of Paul Hobbs and the Pepe Galante family, Felino is the estate's approachable entry point: a wine of genuine quality and immediate pleasure, made with the same winemaking philosophy that drives their acclaimed Cobos and Bramare labels.
Pale yellow with greenish highlights. The nose is fresh and inviting, with aromas of pear, green apple, grapefruit, and citrus blossom, lifted by sweet pea and a delicate floral note of Meyer lemon. On the palate, the wine is creamy and broad, with a plush, oily texture and good freshness — only 7% of the wine sees oak, preserving the Uco Valley's natural vibrancy while adding a pleasant depth and a slight toasty nuance on the finish. Crisp acidity keeps everything lively and well-balanced through to the lingering, fruit-driven close.
Awarded 91 points by Vinous and 90 points by Wine Spectator, the 2023 Felino Chardonnay punches well above its price point — a testament to the Uco Valley's exceptional altitude and cool-climate conditions, which yield grapes of remarkable precision and aromatic intensity. (Vintage 2023).
Serve well chilled. Pairs beautifully with grilled fish, roasted chicken, creamy pasta, fresh goat cheese, and light vegetable dishes. A versatile, crowd-pleasing white for any occasion.
