Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of blend of 60% Carricante, 25% Catarratto, 10% Grecanico and 5% Minnella, aged in French oak for 10 months. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits adding honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon citrus with creamy vanilla wrapped in generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Nice!

Called it a Margaret River Chardonnay. Very reductive. In hindsight the acidity of this is higher and fruits and textures are leaner. Also more of that distinctive volcanic smokiness which I might have mistaken for toastiness.

2021. First time visiting Dolomiti and this crisp Sicilian white paired well with several salads and awesome pizzas!
