Taste:

  • El Coto 875m Finca Carbonera Chardonnay was gentle pressed at the winery before being fermented in 100% new, untoasted French oak barrels. The wine is then aged on lees, before spending 10 weeks in oak prior to bottling. All this points to a white wine which a marked smoothness, along with notes of toast, vanilla, smoke and hazelnut. You'll also note that it retains acidity and ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours.
