"Glänzendes, helles Goldgelb. Erstaunlich frische Fruchtnoten in der Nase, nach frischer Birne, Mango und etwas Salbei im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen ein Erlebnis! Viel präsente Frucht, nach Banane und Ananas, entfaltet sich sehr ausgewogen, rund, im Finale dann ein feines mineralisches Spiel, saftig und sehr lang."

"Leuchtendes dichtes Gelbgrün, erstaunlich jung. Zeigt in der Nase feine gereifte Noten nach Banane, Pfirsich und etwas Mango, dazu auch Noten nach Melisse. Präsentiert sich auch am Gaumen beeindruckend frisch, entfaltet sich mit gereifter, aber keinesfalls überreifer Frucht, verwoben und rund, hat noch viele Jahre vor sich. Sehr langer Nachhall."

Am Gaumen sehr verwoben, öffnet sich wie aus einem Guss, kompakt und cremig, fließt wie Seide über den Gaumen, im Finale langer Nachhall, funkelt."

"(2004) This Chardonnay comes Alto Adige, the beautiful Alpine province in the far northeast of Italy on the Austrian border. This is a very succulent, nicely savoury style of Chardonnay with a very pale, gold colour and aromas of honeysuckle, ripe pear and melon, with a subtle oatmeally, toffeed nuance. On the palate it is flooded with sweet-edged white fruit flavours, stonefruit notes of peach and plum and a broad-based, but incisive acidity. The texture is medium-to full, and this wine has lots of elegance and purity but good concentration too. Tasty stuff, that is reminiscent of a good Mâcon Burgundy."
