El Coto de Rioja, Finca Carbonera 875m Chardonnay, Rioja

An unusual white from the highest-altitude vineyard in Rioja. Fans of traditional white Rioja might recoil at the idea of a 100% Chardonnay, and while this is made in a modern style, it still has forward tropical fruit and creamy oak. An enjoyable wine on its own terms.
