Description
Delicata’s 2023 Gran Cavalier Chardonnay Riżerva, DOK Malta, Superior was fermented in French oak barriques and aged on its fine lees , adding depth and complexity to its voluptuous character. This inimitable Chardonnay was further bottle-aged in climate-controlled vaults.
It is a full-flavoured dry wine produced from bunch-pressed Chardonnay grapes that were handpicked from two individual pocket-sized vineyards. The 2023 Gran Cavalier is no heavy archetype built on severe oak maturation that would subdue its fruity charm. On the contrary: its creamy palate is full of precise juicy pear and apple fruit topped with a subtle hint of caramel and brioche, all which is blessed with just a tiny caress of sweet wood.
The 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 vintage, which was Malta’s first white wine Riżerva, are sold out.
