Chardonnay Riserva South tyrol

A.A. Chardonnay Riserva "Goldegg"

This expressive and very robust Chardonnay Riserva is at home on the west-facing slopes of the village of Scena. On this dry, deep, quartz-rich soil with isolated pockets of marble, the old Chardonnay vines have to send their roots deep into the earth, unfolding their most complex aromas of ripe and tropical fruits as a result. Aged over several months in tonneaux barrels, this fine wine made from hand-selected grapes develops additional unique tertiary aromas. A harmonious white wine with a creamy structure and high ageing potential.
