Ried Pfarrweingarten 2021 is a prestigious Grosse Lage Chardonnay from Sattlerhof, sourced from a south-facing amphitheatre in Southern Styria with weathered limestone soils. The 2021 vintage is characterised by its extraordinary tension and longevity, offering a profile of lemon oil, green apple, and crushed chalk. This wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation and 18 months of maturation on the lees in neutral oak, resulting in a complex, multi-layered texture and a deep saline streak. It is a world-class expression of Morillon – the local name for Chardonnay – defined by its architectural structure and a persistent, smoky mineral finish.
