Vintage 2022
The 2022 Chardonnay selection has all been drunk; there's none left at the winery. It grew in Ried Kirchfeld in Teesdorf and we picked it on 17 September 2022. The grapes ripened through a summer that was very hot and dry right across Austria. In the glass it was a bright golden yellow, with tropical ripeness and a touch of oak and vanilla, full-bodied with a creamy finish, its fruit acidity keeping everything in balance.
