Wine Description
The unique terroir of the Ried Tatschler vineyard is ideally suited for producing great white wines. The combination of the cool microclimate and the limestone-rich primary rock soil results in a Chardonnay that impresses with its remarkable salinity and firm structure. Through long, careful aging in wooden barrels, the complexity and minerality of the vineyard, as well as the Chardonnay’s depth of fruit, are impressively brought to the fore.
Tasting Notes
An impressive fruity nose with plenty of exotic notes—pineapple, lychee, subtle hints of tobacco, incense, and lime—mineral-driven, powerful, with an almost opulent fruitiness, juicy and dense, perfectly balanced, yet with a firm structure, great body, and harmonious all the way through to the long finish—a true masterpiece.
Food Pairing
A perfect wine for fish and seafood dishes. Also excellent with hearty dishes, veal, and beef.
