I tasted my first white from Pyros: the 2021 Appellation Chardonnay. It’s a varietal barrel-aged example (only 20% of the volume) with moderate ripeness, 13% alcohol and very good freshness, reflecting a cool year. It has a combination of apples, white flowers and spices and is clean and expressive, with a medium-bodied palate with a chalky texture and supple flavors. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2021.
Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.

Wine Enthusiast
#70 of The Enthusiast 100, 2023. Coming from San Juan, Argentina's second largest wine-producing region, this white offers delicate notes of white flowers, lime and herbs. A light note of honey adds to its complexity. The mineral-textured palate has weight and shows white peach, lime and chamomile that extend to the lingering finish. Vigorous acidity balances it all out.

Vinous Media
The 2021 Chardonnay Pyros Appellation from the Pedernal Valley, San Juan was aged for six months in 20% new oak. Yellowy green in the glass. The nose presents notes of green apple zest, herbs and aromas from the aging process. On the palate, it’s mildly fatty, with keen, energetic freshness. The finish is a reprise of the nose. A long-lasting, expansive but austere wine.
Winery Notes
Intense and complex on the nose, with predominant aromas of peach, pear and green apple, followed by floral notes such as jasmine and white flowers. Hints of minerals contribute to its complexity.
