The steep porphyry slopes at an altitude of up to 650 metres on the Ritten above Bolzano offer ideal conditions for vinifying this powerful yet elegant Chardonnay with outstanding balance, well-integrated acidity and excellent ageing potential. Straw yellow in colour with greenish inclusions. Pure exotic flavours of pineapple, mango and white peach on the nose, underpinned by a delicate vanilla note. Powerful on the palate, the well-integrated acidity keeps it fresh and mineral despite its power and complexity, right through to an almost infinitely long finish. A great Chardonnay from South Tyrol! SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, intense golden yellow colour. Inviting bouquet of juicy pear, peach, almond blossom and fine woody spice. Creamy on the palate, opens up beautifully and remains supple until the lingering finish." Falstaff

"A wine with flavours of melon and yellow flowers, with crisp acidity, a lively palate, medium body and good length." James Suckling

"The 2022 Chardonnay Riserva Stegher is sweetly scented with a cascade of white flowers, lemon oil and almond custard. It sweeps across the palate with masses of ripe pit fruits and candied citrus tones, framed by crisp minerality. The 2022 leaves the essence quenched, with pretty inner florals swirling throughout as a minty freshness fades." Vinous
