2020 Ronco del Gnemiz 'Sol' Chardonnay £64.99 £58.41 per bottle introductory offer

Sol is made with fruit from low-yielding 60-year-old vines, and picked when perfectly ripe. As with all Ronco del Gnemiz wines the focus is on the fruit and whilst it has undergone malolactic conversion and careful use of oak it retains a fresh acidity. Sol is not your typical Fruilian white and has a little Burgundian 'struck match' reductiveness on the nose. Lots of fresh orchard fruits, white pepper, a gentle creaminess with rich texture and a superbly long finish.
