Caravaggio Chardonnay D.O.K Superior 2008 82 Points




First time I tried a Chardonnay from Malta, showing bright gold with yellow reflections.
Clean, moderate plus intensity, baked citrus, pineapples and orange segments, stony saline minerals, toasty, nutty complexity, medium toast oak influence.

Dry with moderate plus acidity, citrus freshness, textured honeyed mid palate, spicy core unusual for this variety, slightly phenolic lending a fairly rich mouth feels, at it's peak now yet may last until 2015+
