Leithaberg Chardonnay 2023
“Freshness is key, as is lightness and flow, leading deep into cool, stony, pure,
pale soil. The lemon length defines it all” A. Krebiehl MW Vinous
Chardonnay from the Leithaberg is one of the world’s great wines. The variety shows enormous potential for maturation in our élevage, but is already lively with minerality and stimulatingly powerful on the palate in its youth. Its somewhat more neutral flavour profile makes it an excellent accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes.
The Leithaberg Chardonnay comes from what is probably the best Pinot-family vineyard in Sankt Margarethen. Its high fossil limestone & quartz content gives the wine a great deal of structure, elegance and ‘that certain something’. Nearby Lake Neusiedl reflects sunlight onto the gentle slopes and thus ensures that this premium Chardonnay ripens at just the right time.
Selective hand-harvesting from organically cultivated vineyards; partially spontaneous, very gentle fermentation in 500 litre tonneaus and careful aging for a year in the 300-year-old cellars of the Hofkellerei create a wine with distinctive structure.
Intense, radiant golden-green in color. The bouquet features lemon blossoms, salty notes, hints of fire and smoke, with a reduction of green curry leaves. On the palate, it is salty, aromatic and powerful, supported by limestone-driven freshness, lively, and with an enormously stimulating finish.
Best enjoyed on its own or with rich fish and meat dishes, as well as delicately spiced cuisine.
