"The Löwengang Chardonnay is an expression of classic refinement: An elegant, fine wine with good complexity, great structure and a pronounced body, whose origin characterises its character. When the Chardonnay came onto the market and a suitable name was sought, it was clear that the Margreid vineyard should take centre stage. It was the perfect opportunity to revive the name Löwengang and give the newly created, high-quality wines this name." Alois Lageder

Rich straw yellow colour, rich, complex aroma with a delicate, pleasantly creamy nose and the scent of citrus and pineapple, on the other hand lots of structured spice and a hint of vanilla. The winery's white flagship brings its primary fruit to the fore with impressive intensity, but it also offers plenty of exciting complexity in a second wave of subtle flavours that testify to extreme care and precision in winemaking. The lingering finish is refined with a subtle hint of bitter almond. SUPERIORE.DE

"Graphite and smoke underscore the persimmon, plum skin, white cherry and almond flavours in this clean, savoury white." Wine Spectator

"Intense and complex, with slightly lifted scents of meadow flowers, bruised apples and limes, with hints of creamy pastry in the background. Great energy on the palate, where the youthful fleshiness is supported by firm, tangy acidity. Although the 2021 vintage is still in its infancy, it is a landmark vintage for Löwengang Chardonnay - a wine with a bright future." Decanter

"An elegant wine with a broodingand complex profile. The nose is all about tension, with vibrant flavours of pink grapefruit, lime blossom, apricots, mirabelle plums, green apples and toast. Oily texture with piquant, integrated acidity. Long, soft, full-bodied and weighty on the finish. Aftertaste of candied fruit." James Suckling
