Castelfeder Chardonnay Doss

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

Castelfeder is one of the most reliable wineries in the Überetsch region – a cooperative that sources its grapes from specific vineyards and is committed to clean vinification. The Doss ferments in stainless steel tanks, and subsequent lees aging gives it texture without masking the typical varietal character.

Straw yellow in the glass with green reflections. The nose offers apple, ripe pear, and a hint of pineapple – fruit-forward but not heavy. Medium-bodied on the palate, with lively acidity and a creamy texture from the lees aging. The finish is fresh and clean.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Drinking window: now until 2026. Pairs well with risotto with Parmesan, grilled sea bass, vegetable quiche or a spicy mountain cheese from South Tyrol.
