The Pulenta Estate Chardonnay VIII is an elegant and balanced Chardonnay that beautifully represents Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir.
In the glass, it has a pale golden hue. On the nose, it opens with delicate aromas of ripe pear, green apple and tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, layered with hints of vanilla and toasted almond from oak aging.
On the palate, this Chardonnay is creamy yet fresh, with flavours of citrus zest, white peach and a touch of honey. Its lively acidity and subtle minerality bring a refreshing balance, leading to a smooth, lingering finish with a gentle note of hazelnut and a touch of butterscotch.

Producer
Pulenta Estate, founded in 2002, is a family-owned winery that combines tradition with innovation in the heart of Mendoza. With deep roots in Argentine viticulture, Pulenta Estate is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the purity of the region’s terroir.
The tradition, knowledge, and wine experience of the family was acquired during 100 years since the arrival of Angelo Polenta y Palmina Spinssanti to Argentina. Built on this legacy, Pulenta Estate was founded in 2002 by brothers Hugo and Eduardo Pulenta, fourth-generation winemakers, with the goal of translating their family legacy and their father’s pioneering spirit into a modern, innovative winery focused on producing limited quantities of great wines. They have quickly carved out a reputation for precise, elegant wines across a range of varieties. The estate consists of two vineyards located in key areas of Mendoza: Finca La Zulema in Agrelo and Viñedos Don Antonio in Los Arboles, a district of the Uco Valley
The estate vineyards, located at high altitudes in the Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco subregions, benefit from ideal conditions for growing exceptional Chardonnay. Pulenta’s winemaking philosophy focuses on sustainable practices and attention to detail, aiming to express the unique character of each grape variety. The Pulenta Estate Chardonnay VIII is a true reflection of this dedication, crafted to showcase elegance, complexity and balance.
Food Pairings
This versatile Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes. Its creamy texture and balanced acidity make it an excellent match for seafood, such as grilled salmon, buttery lobster, or scallops. It also pairs well with roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes and vegetarian options like risotto with mushrooms or butternut squash. For cheese lovers, try it with soft, creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert to enhance the wine’s rich flavours.
Wine Region
The Mendoza wine region is known worldwide for its high-altitude vineyards, where the unique climate and soils yield wines of remarkable character and finesse. Located at the foothills of the Andes, Mendoza provides warm, sunny days and cool nights, allowing Chardonnay grapes to ripen slowly and develop concentrated flavours while preserving natural acidity.
The subregions of Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco offer mineral-rich soils that enhance the wine’s structure and complexity, producing Chardonnays that are both vibrant and refined. Mendoza has become a renowned region for producing top-tier Chardonnays that balance New World richness with Old World elegance.
