Maté Brajkovich replanted it in 1990 on the land his family first planted in 1944. Its Mendoza-clone Chardonnay vines, affected by leafroll, give very low yields and ripen slowly. Fruit is hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, fermented with indigenous yeast in French oak and aged there for 11 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErin Larkin of the Wine Advocate scored it 97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"The 2025 Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay is powerful and nutty, with ripe orchard fruit.
