Planeta's 2023 Menfi Chardonnay brings the Sicilian charm to this classic varietal. It is full of peaches, pears, honey, lemon zest and blossoms in the finish, making a great midpoint between the clean minerality of Burgundy and the punchier fruit-driven Californians.

The organic Planeta 2023 Sicilia Menfi Chardonnay is a creamy and rich interpretation with sweet almond, apricot and Sicilian candied fruit. The wine delivers beautiful intensity over a thickly layered, full-bodied mouthfeel. Fruit comes from the Ulmo vineyard (positioned at 250 meters above sea level) and Maroccoli (at 415 meters in elevation). The wine is aged in Allier French barrique with 40% new oak, 30% second-use and 30% third-use barrel for 11 months. This is a massive production of close to a quarter of a million bottles, and that's an impressive feat.
