Zieregg Grosse Lage Sudsteiermark Morillon (Chardonnay)

Tement
Austria
Styria
2021

The part of single-vineyard Zieregg where the Morillon is planted changes from limestone to marl, which has more heat storage capacity and is ideal for a full-bodied wine. Cool winds also favor the aromatic expression of the grape. After natural fermentation, the wine was aged for 20 months on the lees in neutral barrels. Bottled unfiltered.

Optimal drinking time after five to 15 years.

"Lots of smoked-bacon character but also a note of apples caramelized in butter make this surprisingly rich and full-bodied chardonnay for this high-altitude region stand out. Only in the bright, long finish does the mountain freshness of the Steiermark come through, and how delightful it is to smell its dew-laden meadows. From organically grown grapes."
