Buchholz – in the Austrian land register of 1858, the name already referred to the valley slopes above Salurn, where terraced vineyards lie on dolomite sedimentary rock between 400 and 800 metres above sea level. Peter Zemmer, whose family has been making wine in Kurtinig an der Weinstraße since 1928, has chosen this heterogeneous location for his Chardonnay: A mosaic of microclimates and soils that combines alpine freshness with southern ripeness. In the morning, the breeze from the north cools, in the afternoon the "Ora" from the south warms: a daily breathing space that gives the grapes time. The vinification remains deliberately restrained: short cold maceration to preserve the fruit, fermentation at 19°C in large wooden barrels.

Pear, citrus, a hint of tropical ripeness – but what remains is the mineral tension of the dolomite rock. A serious Chardonnay that gives you a taste of the mountains without ever losing its elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow with golden reflections. Clear and inviting on the nose, pineapple and dandelion flowers as well as a hint of white pepper. Juicy and fresh on the palate, animating acidity structure, spicy, medium-long finish." Falstaff
