Catena Tupungato Chardonnay Manchuela 2001 was the last year

2001 was the last year before the introduction of manual sorting (although there was always manual harvesting) but it doesn't seem to have done any harm

Made from the Savagnin Grape

It's a lovely malty whiskey with Cooley's signature honey and pear notes as well as a beautiful waft of smoke

sapid flavour and great complexity

and the wine moves over the palate with profound length

Tupungato lies between 4000 and 5000ft in the foothills of the Andes mountains. This Chardonnay is deeply aromatic with expressive citrus fruit
