Tramin Chardonnay

Chardonnay Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

Made from 100% Chardonnay from southern Alto Adige. After a gentle pressing, the must is clarified by natural sedimentation and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Refined for five months in stainless steel, this is a fresh and flowery Chardonnay.

Good apple, light vanilla and cream character on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, round and fruity. Straightforward and well-made. Drink now.
