Chardonnay Grand Cru' Terre Siciliane, Rapitalà
£25.99Price
Straight Chardonnay made from grapes grown in high vineyards, about 450 metres above sea level, where the altitude's cooling influence allows for a long ripening period when the grapes develop their flavour. Hand-harvested grapes are fermented in a mixture of stainless steel and oak barrels, with the young wine being matured in contact with its lees for about a year. Pale gold in colour, it shows rich, Sicilian fruit reminiscent of honeydew melon and tropical fruits like pineapple and greengage, with notes of vanilla and cream acquired from a period of oak ageing.
