Chardonnay Ried Zapfersberg

A Chardonnay from the single vineyard Ried Zapfersberg – vinified in the Burgundian style, with ripe fruit and a texture rarely found in this price range.

The Hugl/Wimmer winery operates in the Austrian wine region, focusing on single-vineyard white wines. The Zapfersberg vineyard yields Chardonnay with the ripeness and density that are essential for serious aging – whether in oak barrels or on the lees.

In the glass, the wine displays yellow peach and pear fruit, along with a hint of hazelnut and creamy brioche notes. The acidity is present but integrated – no harshness, but rather a soft, rounded mouthfeel with a long, slightly nutty finish.

Serving suggestion: Served at 10–12 °C, it pairs well with veal strips in cream sauce, pan-fried salmon fillet with caper butter, or a mature mountain cheese. It also makes a solid impression as a standalone accompaniment to a late afternoon with good company.
