The Icon Rock Chardonnay
Mendoza Chardonnay, mountain soil, nine months in oak.
The story behind The Icon Rock
The Icon Rock is a terroir-driven portfolio built by WX Brands and launched nationwide in 2024, with winemaking led in Argentina by Sergio Casé. The Chardonnay comes from Mendoza, hand-harvested and destemmed, fermented cool at 59F for 20 days, then aged 9 months in a mix of French and American oak. Partial malolactic fermentation on 30% of the wine, sur lies, gives it weight without flattening the fruit.
The single vineyard tier climbs higher, to Finca El Corión in Los Árboles, Uco Valley, at 4,100 feet. Whole clusters are pressed pneumatically without destemming, fermented between 55F and 64F, then aged 10 months in French oak, 70% first use, with bâttonage stirring the lees. We have poured Mendoza Chardonnay at this counter for years. This one earns its place.
