2022 Planeta Chardonnay Menfi

這款來自門菲的白酒質地奶油、口感飽滿，先聞到花香與些許草本的鹹香，接著是烤蘋果、熱帶菠蘿與檸檬皮的層次。入口柔滑，檸檬與杏仁糕的味道支撐著更鮮明的熱帶果香，橡木與香草、核果糖的香氣為酒體添了溫暖的香料感，尾韻帶點微苦的清爽收束。酒莊為家族經營，栽培採取貼近自然的管理（有機取向），田間靠近海風，砂質土壤讓果實成熟但保有明亮度。釀造上以桶發酵與桶陳為主，讓乳酸發酵與澱粉渣接觸增加奶油感與層次，木桶用量克制，不會蓋過果味。建議醒酒約45分鐘，配奶油海鮮、烤菇或帶油脂的豬肉都很合拍，口感友好又有個性。

A ripe, full-bodied white from Menfi with an inviting nose of floral and savory herbs layered over cooked apple, dried pineapple and lemon rind. The palate is creamy and generous — rich lemon and almond-paste notes are balanced by ripe tropical fruit and warm oak spice, with hints of vanilla and praline settling into a zesty, slightly bitter finish. Produced by a family-owned Sicilian estate committed to careful viticulture, grapes are grown with organic-minded practices on coastal vineyards where warm days and cooling sea breezes preserve freshness. Fermented and matured in oak (with judicious new oak), the wine sees malolactic conversion and time on fine lees to build texture and integrate the oak — drink now with 30–60 minutes of air, or cellar through the drinking window for further integration.
