Full-bodied yet refreshing – this is how Peter Zemmers’ Chardonnay from the finest vineyards around Kurtinig in South Tyrol’s Unterland region presents itself. The vines, grafted onto low-growth rootstocks and trained using the Guyot system, benefit from their favourable location in the valley floor, ideal sunlight and good air circulation around the grapes. The hand-picked grapes are left to macerate on their skins for a few hours in a cool place before pressing – a step that transfers the fruity aromas from the skins into the must and intensifies the bouquet. Following gentle pressing and natural sedimentation, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 19 °C in stainless steel tanks.

A straw-yellow colour with a greenish sheen in the glass. The nose unfolds a riot of delicate aromas: banana, melon and ripe fruit intertwine to form an intense, multi-layered bouquet. On the palate, it is dry and fresh, lively and pleasantly full-bodied, with a long, fruit-driven final. An uncomplicated Chardonnay with an alpine character, which pairs just as elegantly with starters, pasta dishes and white meat as it does with a sunny afternoon on the terrace. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light pineapple, peaches, vibrant apples and citrus undertones on the nose. A bright, juicy palate of fresh white fruit." Decanter
