Tasting notes
Mango dessert, banoffee pie, vanilla, parmesan and apricot compote make for a very opulent nose indeed. Despite the resounding intensity, the full-bodied and dense palate has enough acidity to lift the fleshy tropical fruit and, unbelievably, this ends quite bright. Drink now.

With 150,000 bottles produced, this is an easy wine to locate. It has become one of Sicily's wine ambassadors abroad. The 2017 Sicilia Menfi Chardonnay boasts the energy and radiance of the new world of Sicilian enology. Toasted spice and apricot are followed by honey, poached pear and sweet spice such as cinnamon and nutmeg (but only just a pinch). I'll give this wine a solid 10-year drinking window. There is a touch of sweet honey on the finish.
