Winemaker Marcelo Papa delivers a leaner, more mineral-savoury style of Concha Chardonnay by picking earlier in March and clever oak ageing in both new and used medium-toast French barrels. This has a lovely pure pear and nectarine palate with a touch of cashew. Crisp, crunchy acidity sits alongside a silky texture, and gives a great finish. Lots of bang for your buck from this very delicious dependable wine.
