Wine Advocate 90 points.
The 2021 Alto Adige Chardonnay shows a pretty filigree of aromas with sweet citrus, white flower and dried mineral. The wine is streamlined and tight with lasting freshness that revives the entire palate. Made only in stainless steel, there are faint aromas of flower and wild grass on the easy finish. This is a great value with 110,000 bottles released. ML Dec 2022.
The grapes are harvested by hand in small bins and gently pressed immediately following harvest. Primary fermentation occurs in steel tanks, followed by partial malolactic fermentation. Maturation also takes place in small steel tanks.

Nose:
This Chardonnay has delicate fruity aromas and a dry finish. It tastes fresh and lively with hints of pineapple, pear, citrus, vanilla and butter.
Apart from being an excellent aperitif, this wine works magnificently with warm appetizers and starters as well as with flavourful fish and seafood dishes. Meat lovers will also
appreciate this Chardonnay, it is a perfect accompaniment to strips of turkey with fresh mushrooms.
