"91/100 Vinous.
The 2023 Chardonnay Felino hails from the Uco Valley, with only 7% of the wine aged in oak barrels. It exhibits a greenish-yellow hue and opens with notes of corn and green apple, accompanied by hints of pear and herbs. The oak adds a pleasant depth, while the palate is creamy and broad, showcasing good freshness and an oily texture. This is a nicely balanced wine for a warm vintage."
After visiting Argentina in 1989, Californian trail-blazer Paul Hobbs became deeply interested in both the terroir and Argentine culture, noticing the unique potential for Malbec and other varietals in the region. After meeting two kindred spirits, Andrea Marchiori and Luis Barraud, they founded Viña Cobos in 1997 and since then there has been no looking back. Utilising gnarly old vines, careful vineyard selection, very low yields and an unerring empathy for the raw materials, Viña Cobos craft intense yet balanced wines that showcase the elegance and beauty of this region.
