The name Glarea is of Rhaeto-Romanic origin and means gravel. The grapes for this mineral and very harmonious Chardonnay grow at an altitude of around 250 metres on the lower part of the Höllenbach debris cone in soils rich in limestone and gravel. Thanks to the low hillside location and the proximity to the valley floor, a unique microclimate is created here, characterised by considerable temperature fluctuations. During the day, the Glarea vineyards enjoy very warm temperatures, which are replaced by cool air masses in the late hours of the night and early morning, giving it a lovely tautness and freshness.

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. Ripe banana, dried apricot and pineapple on the nose. Lively freshness on the palate, juicy full-bodied and taut minerality, long and harmonious final. Glarea is an extremely likeable jack-of-all-trades that is best enjoyed with savoury starters. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale yellow with a greenish tinge. Yellow apple, lemon and a hint of wet stone on the nose. Fresh, straightforward and cool on the palate, with clear fruit, fine acidity and a delicate melt. A Chardonnay with a reduced style - pure, precise and of quiet depth." Vinum

"Grapefruit, white flowers, wet stones and green mangoes on the nose. It's fresh and cool, subtly flinty and mineral, with a full body and a flawless, stony finish." James Suckling
