The "Buchholz" valley slopes above Salurn in the South Tyrolean lowlands were already documented in the historical cadastral cartography of 1858. This impressive Chardonnay comes from this terraced area of dolomite sedimentary rock at an altitude of 400 to 800 metres above sea level.

Greenish yellow, with a bouquet of banana and pineapple, sliced apple and wild herbs. Very juicy on the palate, inviting and stimulating to drink with its pretty palette of fruity flavours, fine minerality and a certain herbaceousness. The fullness in the mouth is very pleasant, the personality and length are a lot of fun even at a young age. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow, sparkling. Light fumé on the nose, with rich yellow fruit, tropical fruit, precious wood, full-bodied. Rich and full on the palate, with a radiant yellow fruit centre, comes in several layers, long and creamy." Falstaff

"A round and creamy white, characterised by a well-cut acidic backbone. It offers a harmonious palette of glazed apple and nectarine fruit with a hint of lemon curd, vanilla and hazelnut. The finish reveals savoury notes of mountain herbs and stony minerality." Wine Spectator

"Spice notes mix with crushed yellow apples and chamomile as the 2023 Chardonnay Buchholz opens in the glass. This splashes across the palate with ease, displaying fresh acidity and mineral-inflected orchard fruits. The 2023 tapers off with a cascade of sweet spice, gently structured and long." Vinous

"Praline, apricot, lemon curd and mango crumble on the nose. Also some vanilla. It is medium-bodied, creamy and beautiful with sweet stone fruit." James Suckling

"Golden apples and stone fruits meld beautifully with the core of smoky vanilla oak. With its racy acidity and mineral structure, this is a wine to be taken seriously." Decanter
