The 2021 CHARDONNAY Ried from STIFT ALTENBURG comes from the renowned Weinviertel region, more precisely from the Dreissigviertel-Limberg vineyard, located on a gentle hill facing southeast at about 300 metres above sea level. This still white wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown on diatomaceous soil and carefully fermented, with a portion in stainless steel and a portion in oak barrels, to enhance the unique organoleptic characteristics of this vintage. Vintage: 2021 Alcohol content: 13.5 Harvest: October Organoleptic notes: Wine with a shiny yellow colour. Delicate aroma of light tobacco, with hints of brioche, cashews, and memories of ripe yellow fruit. Extremely juicy, yet at the same time reserved. Pungent and soft, it surprises with a prolonged spicy finish. Soil: Diatomaceous Vineyard: Dreissigviertel-Limberg Altitude: 300-310 m Winemaking/Aging: Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks for 80% and in oak barrels for 20%.
