Lower AustriaChardonnay Reserve Ried Steinberg 2022

A juvenile wine, pure and still restrained, showing hints of green walnuts, vanilla pods and reduced yeasty, flinty and spicey tones; opens very slowly in the glass with a fragrant but more and more radiating bouquet of hay-flowers, freshly cut apple and stone fruit; dry, very fresh and sappy on the palate, medium bodied though tightly woven, reminds again of green apples, citrus & fresh peaches, hints of toasty and yeasty tones accompany the long and animating salty, mineral draft

hand-picked

Grapes are gently pressed and filled into 300l oak barrels without pre-sedimentation. The wine stays 5-6 months on the lees with hardly any bâtonnage and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Then, it is racked into 2.500 liters wooden barrels or inox-tank for further maturation before bottling.
