2022 Art of Earth Chardonnay by Mack & Schühle ($11.99)

One of the largest and most important viticultural groups in the world, the Mack & Schühle organization includes 29 cooperatives and around 5,000 winegrowers, managing more than 60,000 acres of vineyard plantings located throughout the top growing regions of Mendoza and San Juan in Argentina.

Art of Earth organic wines are true to their origins and winemaking traditions without the use of pesticides or herbicides. This Art of Earth Chardonnay comes from Mendoza Argentina. The organic vineyards are located at 2300 to 2600 feet in elevation. The presence of the Andes Mountains, which act as a barrier to the humid winds of the Pacific, along with the distance to the Atlantic Ocean, generating ideal conditions for the cultivation of vines.

This Art of Earth Chardonnay is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes that are both fermented and undergo malolactic conversion in stainless steel tanks - it sees no oak aging. It is pale gold in color with subtle aromas of lemon, lime and tropical fruits. On the palate, this medium-bodied Chardonnay has bright flavors of citrus, yellow apple and pear with refreshing acidity on the finish.

This Mack & Schühle Art of Earth Organic Chardonnay is available throughout most of the U.S. and, at $11.99, is a great value as this week’s Behind the Cork™ Wine of the Week. Cheers!
