This cool-climate wine is made from 100% Chardonnay and vinified in stainless steel. The delicate style of this wine shows the finer side of Chardonnay and is a great addition to the Tramin lineup, all pure expressions of this southern Alto Adige region.

Acclaim
“The 2010 Chardonnay is another terrific wine in its category. Here the fruit is quite rich and bold next to some of the other entry-level wines in the lineup, but the essential Alto Adige character is always present. A rich, creamy finish rounds things out in style.”
— Wine Advocate, Feb 2012
