Castelfeder Chardonnay Doss

A Chardonnay that focuses on freshness instead of wood: The Doss from Castelfeder ages for six months on the fine lees and shows what South Tyrol can do with this grape variety.

Castelfeder is one of the reliable addresses in the Überetsch – a cooperative that sources its grapes from defined sites in the region and consistently focuses on clean vinification. The Doss ferments in stainless steel tanks; the subsequent aging on the lees gives it texture without masking the typical varietal character.

In the glass, straw yellow with green reflections. On the nose, apple, ripe pear, and a hint of pineapple – fruit-forward but not heavy. On the palate, medium body, invigorating acidity, creamy texture from the lees aging. The finish is fresh and clear.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Goes well with risotto with Parmesan, grilled sea bass, vegetable quiche, or a spicy mountain cheese from South Tyrol.
