NA for Nals, MA for Margreid. A tribute to two outstanding vineyards where something special can be felt, seen and felt and which have inspired cellar master Harald Schraffl to create something equally special from their grapes. A wine and the essence that expresses the essence of the small parcels in its purest form, whose typicity tells the story of the South Tyrol of tomorrow, a timeless wine with recognition value in an international context.

The Chardonnay vines for NAMA are between 30 and 40 years old. The grapes are harvested and selected by hand. After gentle whole-cluster pressing, the must is pre-clarified by natural, static sedimentation, fermented and matured in small oak barrels on the lees for 18 months. The wine is then matured for a further year on the lees in stainless steel tanks and a further year in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Chardonnay Nama opens with a spicy burst of lime zest, giving way to nectarines enriched by vanillin spice. This is deeply textural, nearly creamy in feel, with cooling acidity and depths of ripe apple and pear, offset by a minty inner freshness. Long and gently structured, the 2021 lingers with hints of lemon oil and a subtle air of custard. The balance here is fabulous." Vinous

"Rich aromas of oak and stewed fruit with great freshness, tropical and stone fruit on the palate, overlaid with roasted nuts and spices." Decanter

"This is a blonde sex bomb that shows off luscious curves and flesh in a yet graceful and appealing package. The mouth-watering acidity highlights the silky texture and provides a vibrant frame for the rich flavours of apple cream, poached apricot, glazed mandarin, ginger-infused pastry cream, fleur de sel and toasted hazelnuts. Long and spicy on the finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2021 Chardonnay Nama remains vertical and bright despite the greater texture and aromatic depth this wine achieves. It remains fresh, even tangy on the mid-palate, and this serves to break up and balance the ripe flavours of poached apple and lemon meringue that are also presented here. The wine pulls from all directions - from top to bottom - and this is what makes it so exciting. It is aged for 18 months in oak, then nine months in stainless steel and one year in the bottle. This is a limited edition of 2,000 numbered bottles." Wine Advocate

"An elegant wine with very restrained flavours of cedar and pink grapefruit, complemented by buttery notes and mineral finesse. Full-bodied with savoury acidity, weight and concentration at Grand Cru level and a polished, yet biting finish that can be attributed to its youthfulness." James Suckling
