ITHICA CHARDONNAY

Featured in Homer's The Odyssey, Ithaca is King Odysseus' beloved homeland. His Ithaca provided a beacon to guide him home during his ten year return from the Trojan Wars.  After ten years I am sure the he would have loved a glass of this powerful and complex chardonnay!

At only HK$1,896 per carton this limited release wine will go quickly. 

"Fruit for the 2010 Ithaca Chardonnay was sourced from the two vineyard blocks on our original estate vineyard at Lenswood as well as a vineyard near Echunga in the Southern Adelaide Hills. Fruit is hand picked in the early hours following sunrise and rapidly transported to the winery. It is then pressed very gently with the juice allowed to settle before racking to barrel. The wine is entirely fermented in French oak barrels at 15–25°C with aproximately 30% new barrels. The wine is aged for 9 months on yeast lees in its original barrel, with regular stirring."
