Alma 4 Brut Chardonnay Almacita

Argentina might be famous for its Malbec, but this sparkling gem proves the country has more tricks up its sleeve. Alma 4 is a collaborative project between four winemaking friends (hence the name) who decided Argentina deserved its own world-class sparkling wine – and they've certainly delivered with this Chardonnay-based beauty.

Produced using the traditional method (the same as Champagne, but without the Champagne price tag), this bottle brings all the elegance and complexity you'd expect from fine bubbles. The high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza provide the perfect conditions for growing Chardonnay with brilliant acidity and flavor concentration.

It's the kind of sparkling wine that makes you wonder why you save bubbles for special occasions – when the real special occasion might just be finding a bottle this good at this price.
