Luca G Lot Chardonnay 2024 Mendoza

Luca G Lot Chardonnay 2024 is de chardonnay van extreme hoogte uit Gualtallary in de Uco Valley, een wijngaard die al sinds begin jaren 90 laat zien hoe elegant Mendoza kan zijn. De wijn is vernoemd naar de G Lot-wijngaard, waar de druiven op 1.500 meter boven zeeniveau groeien in een koel, rotsachtig landschap met veel kalk in de bodem. Wat maakt Luca G Lot Chardonnay 2024 zo bijzonder? Het is een krachtige maar verfijnde chardonnay die het rijpe Argentijnse fruit combineert met spanning, frisheid en duidelijke mineraliteit, waardoor hij bijna aan een grote Bourgogne doet denken.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven voor Luca G Lot Chardonnay komen uit Argentinië, uit Mendoza, uit de Uco Valley en specifiek uit Gualtallary in Tupungato. De G Lot-wijngaard werd in 1992 aangeplant en was de eerste chardonnay-wijngaard op extreme hoogte in Mendoza, op ongeveer 1.500 meter boven zeeniveau. De bodem is rotsachtig en sterk kalkhoudend, met dichte kalksedimenten tussen de stenen, wat zorgt voor strakke zuren en uitgesproken mineraliteit in de wijn. De grote hoogte zorgt voor intense zon overdag en flink koele nachten, waardoor de druiven volledig rijpen maar toch hun frisheid behouden. Laura Catena koos dit perceel bewust om een chardonnay te maken die duidelijk Argentijns is in zijn expressie, maar qua structuur en spanning dicht tegen de klassieke Oude Wereld aanleunt.

Vinificatie en rijping

De druiven worden met de hand geoogst om alleen perfect rijpe trossen naar de kelder te brengen. De vergisting gebeurt bij zeer lage temperaturen, waarbij ongeveer 80% van de most in eikenhouten vaten vergist en 20% in roestvrijstalen tanks. Een groot deel van de wijn ondergaat malolactische omzetting om de zuren iets te verzachten en het mondgevoel ronder en romiger te maken, zonder de frisheid kwijt te raken. Daarna rijpt de wijn 12 maanden sur lie in eikenhouten vaten, waarbij 25% nieuw is en de rest tweedejaars eiken. Die rijping op de lies geeft extra romigheid, complexiteit en een subtiele toets van toast en specerijen. Met rond 13,5% alcohol, een pH van 3,55 en een totale zuurgraad van 5,5 g/l blijft de wijn strak genoeg om elegant te blijven, terwijl de houtrijping zorgt voor een duidelijke, luxueuze signatuur.

Druivensamenstelling

Chardonnay – Gualtallary, Uco Valley
Luca G Lot Chardonnay is 100% chardonnay van de G Lot-wijngaard in Gualtallary, aangeplant in 1992 op rotsachtige, kalkrijke bodems op 1.500 meter hoogte, wat de wijn zijn combinatie van rijp geel fruit, romigheid en zinderende mineraliteit geeft.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Luca G Lot Chardonnay 2024 heeft een heldere, citroengele tot licht goudgele kleur. In de geur herken je citroencrème, witte perzik en gebakken peer, aangevuld met vanille, bakspecerijen en een duidelijke minerale toets. In de smaak treedt de houtrijping nog wat meer op de voorgrond, met tonen van toast, vanille en nootmuskaat, ondersteund door tropisch fruit zoals ananas, meloen en rijpe appel. De textuur is romig maar niet zwaar, met een lange, steenachtige afdronk waarin de mineraliteit en frisse zuren het geheel weer optillen. Serveer deze chardonnay bij voorkeur rond 6 tot 8 °C. Aan tafel combineert hij prachtig met gerechten met gebakken paddenstoelen of rijke botersauzen, zoals pasta met champignonroomsaus, in boter gebakken sliptong of andere verfijnde vis- en gevogeltegerechten, en ook bij veel varkensvleesgerechten komt zijn romige maar frisse stijl goed tot zijn recht, waardoor dit een uitgesproken gastronomische wijn is.

Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Medium, Style: 4-Pack
This dog squeak ball has been a big hit in my home and keeps my dog entertained for long periods of time. The squeaker really grabs their attention and encourages play, tapping into their natural instincts to chase and fetch. My dog especially loves how it bounces and squeaks, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor play. It’s lightweight and easy for them to carry around, even for quick games of fetch in the yard. In terms of durability, it has held up pretty well so far. The squeaker may not last forever with heavy use, but the ball itself still stays in good shape. Overall, it’s a fun, engaging toy that keeps my dog active and happy.

budget friendly for dogs who lose balls in the creek
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Medium, Style: 4-Pack
Not great quality, but works for our needs. I have a ball crazy lab. She loves for me to throw a ball using the Chuck-it Ball Launcher. We do this in our wide back yard that butts up to a creek. At some point during her run and fetch, she will take a quick detour right into the creek. She nearly always still has the ball, but once in awhile it is lost. Not wanting to chance it on more pricy (and more durable) balls, I get these or something like these. They dont cost much, yet they do the job. I' not upset if one gets sacrificed to the creek waters and mud. Since the balls end up getting wet often, they will kinda fall apart over time (chasing, kicking, throwing, retrieving, dog saliva etc). But she doesn't chew on them. Glad she doesnt as tennis balls arent good on teeth, but even if it was ok, the balls probably would be breached easily. SO get these if you are like me and want a ball that does the job but arent a total financial loss if get lost or destroyed. For indoor play we and by we I mean our 3 dogs demand that we use the rubbery max glow chuck-it ball. And will ignore this style ball. Yes, I am well trained. lol

These balls SUCK! External squeakers, minimal bounce and blue that is too dark.
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: X-Small, Style: 8-Pack
We have 2 little dogs in our home - a 1.5 year old Pomsky, and a 9 year old Pekingese. My Peke has shown no interest in tennis balls for years, until today! Imagine my excitement! Until she promptly destroyed the first squeaker on one of the blue balls. When I removed it, she began peeling the logos off the ball, and then started tearing the fuzz off! My dog has never destroyed any toy in her life, so this was shocking! Then the Pomsky decided that she wanted to play fetch with the new balls - she has Golden Retriever energy - and decided to destroy a squeaker in the midst of playing! She also wasn't nearly as interested in these tennis balls as her other tennis balls that she inherited from my Peke. 1. STUPID design, with the squeakers sticking out of the balls (the don't sit flush), so they are asking to get chewed or pulled out by any dog, even elderly 10 lb dogs! And a 9 lb young adult. 2. They are difficult to squeak compared to their Kong tennis balls, hence why the Pomsky wasn't interested for long. 3. They don't bounce as much as the Kong tennis balls, either, which made them less than exciting for the athletic and agile Pomsky. Meh. We wanted to get the smallest tennis balls we could get (1.5 inch) because neither dog will play with the 2 inch or bigger ones, but we also wanted to get colors they could easily see! The Pomsky clearly prefers the yellow balls to any other color (red, orange, green, darker blue, watermelon design), so we wanted to get like a bright blue or turquoise couple of balls to appeal to them! Well, my senior Peke liked the blue ones the most, but also liked the red and orange. Pomsky didn't like the blue ones. I think they're too dark of a blue to be easily seen in our home afternoons and evenings in the winter. We love Outward Hound toys in our house, but these were an expensive FLOP. They are the right size, but WHY did they put the squeakers so visible and appealing to dogs? I've never seen the squeaker in the Kong tennis balls. My advice is that Kong seems to make the best tennis balls for toy breeds, in the 1.5" size. Outward Hound dropped the ball here... no pun intended. The blue is darker than the photos depict (may be better in natural sunlight outdoors), the squeakers are external, and they barely bounce at all. Our next step will be to get the pressurized bright blue tennis balls from another brand, in hopes that the bounce and visibility will outweigh the lack of squeakiness. If those don't work, I guess we'll stick to the classic neon yellow Kong tennis balls! At my local Target, they only have multicolor packs of them, and the dark blue, red and green get completely ignored. *Dogs can only see shades of blues, yellows and black, grey and white. While some dogs may not seem to care about color, our Pomsky clearly does. :(

My Dog Loves Them
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Small, Style: 8-Pack
These cute little squeaky balls are the perfect size for my Shih Tzu. She loves to chew on them and make them squeak all the time, so they are durable. I would purchase them again.
