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.

The batch came to 3.000 litres. The Chardonnay selection 2022 earned gold at AWC Vienna 2024, gold at the Lower Austria State Wine Awards and a place in the Thermenregion Top 100 2023.
