2023 Chardonnay Obegg DAC, dry, 13% vol., Walter Polz

The Ried Obegg Chardonnay 2023 is a unique wine, characterized by the combination of vines over 30 years old and a high plateau of the coral reef. The distinctive nature of this terroir, marked by the barrenness of the soil, lends this Chardonnay a characteristic note with intense minerality and a hint of saline freshness. The grapes for this wine are cultivated with great care and undergo meticulous vinification. Aging takes place in a harmonious blend of 500-liter used barrels and 225-liter new barrels. Spontaneous fermentation without the addition of sulfur and a year of aging on the lees contribute to the development of complexity and depth. The wine is then vinified for a further year in stainless steel tanks to refine its structure. On the nose, the Ried Obegg Chardonnay 2023 presents itself with delicately subtle oak and delicate nutty aromas. This gives the wine an elegant texture and a captivating richness of flavor. An exceptional wine that impressively captures the uniqueness of the terroir and the maturity of the old vines. Ideal for wine lovers seeking an expressive and refined Chardonnay.
