Tasting Notes: Bright, elevated chardonnay reflecting the balanced ripe white pear and almond hints of classic chardonnay,
Without overbearing oak or over-ripeness.
About Alois Lageder: The Chardonnay grape variety was introduced to Alto Adige by Archduke John around 1835 and later promoted by the founder of Italy's first school of oenology. Originally known as Yellow Pinot Bianco, the variety became popular in Alto Adige in the 1980s. The grapes come from sites around Magrè, Cortaccia, Salorno and Pochi that have chalky gravel soils that are ideal for growing Chardonnay.
The Alois Lageder winery in Alto Adige comprises fifty-five hectares of the family's vineyards, which are managed based on biodynamic principles. They farm with a holistic approach that is reflected in their wine-growing activities. Alois Lageder has long-standing relationships with numerous grape growers and their ambition to create awareness for agriculture that is in tune with nature.
