  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, June 2025

    A beautiful and intense nose of lime zest, freshly cut grass, green apple and orange blossom leaps out of the glass, whilst a vibrantly fresh lemon and mineral line runs through the palate. Concrete maturation has helped this retain beautiful freshness and purity of flavours. Citrusy and herbaceous with a gorgeous texture, this is so refreshing and moreish. Drink 2025 - 2032

  • Wine Advocate, May 2025, Score: 93

    The 2023 Fósil hails from two vineyards in San Pablo and was vinified entirely in concrete without malolactic fermentation. Opening with a pure, citrus-driven nose padded with an elegantly creamy richness, the palate balances a broad, textural breadth with a gently electric spine of acidity that carries through the herbal, lifted finish. While I found this a touch softer than the comparatively racy Botánico bottling, it remains a lovely expression of Uco Valley.

  • James Suckling, May 2024, Score: 94

    Fósil is a brilliant, concrete-fermented and aged Chardonnay from ten-year-old vines in San Pablo. First produced in 2016, it’s a wonderfully focused, chiselled white showing impressive transparency and purity, flavours of lemongrass and tangerine, stony minerality and a thrilling finish. 2025-30

  • Vinous, November 2024, Score: 97

    The 2023 Chardonnay Fósil is a statement of intent—a vineyard planted in San Pablo with the aim of producing great wine. Ever since its first release, the 2016 vintage, Fósil has quickly established itself as a high-altitude white with a refreshing, non-ripe profile. Even in a warm vintage like 2023, the Chardonnay Fósil offers herbal and reductive notes, with hints of huacatay (a native Andean herb) alongside lime and lemon, all set against a soft backdrop of linden blossom. Lean and vibrant, the palate is pure and chalky in texture, flowing with a light, compact feel. The 2023 vintage solidifies its terroir-driven character.

Region

Argentina

Soon after gaining independence from Spain in 1816, Argentina began attracting successive waves of European immigrants, who brought winemaking traditions and vines with them. For a long time, Argentinian wine was defined by high yields and sun-ripened grapes, however, since the 1980s, the industry has benefitted from a process of modernisation. Combining tradition with extreme altitudes, modern Argentine winemakers have placed more focus on planting in cooler areas, with the aim of prolonging the ripening stage and therefore maximising the quality of fruit. No wine-producing country in the world has made more progress over the last few decades than Argentina, and it is now one of the top exporting countries across the globe. Much of this success can be credited to the hugely popular full-bodied reds made from Malbec, which for years was the most planted black grape in Argentina. Today, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are commonly found and produced in a full range of styles. Mendoza is the main wine region of Argentina. A vast and tremendously varied province nestled against the Andes, its exceptional fruit is the result of the region’s extreme altitudes. The higher the vineyard, the cooler the nights, allowing the wines to retain bright acidity and colour intensity, while the greater effect of radiation increases the concentration of flavour. Mendoza is now home to some of the finest wines of the world, with Catena Zapata leading the way in terms of reputation and quality.
