La Porteña Chardonnay 2018

Inaugurated in 1857, the Buenos Aires Railway was Argentina’s first, and soon expanded to become one of South America’s largest railway networks. Built in Leeds, La Porteña was its first locomotive, and regularly carried wine from Mendoza to Buenos Aires. Enjoy this fruity white on its own or with lightly sauced chicken or fish pie.
