Ehrenhausen Morillon Startin DAC South Styria

Morillon is the Styrian name for Chardonnay, and this one comes from the Startin vineyard near Ehrenhausen in Southern Styria. A dry white wine with pull and structure that tastes more of substance than of fruit show.

The Gross winery cultivates its vineyards organically and is located right on the border with Slovenia, where Southern Styria has its steepest slopes. The calcareous soils noticeably shape the wine: they give it minerality and a clear, fresh line. The origin is designated as DAC Südsteiermark Ortswein, and the wine was aged in traditional wooden barrels.

It glows medium yellow in the glass. On the nose, ripe pear and apple meet nutty notes, plus spicy-mineral accents and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is taut and harmonious, the acidity play remains elegant, and the structure is fine. White fruits and minerality carry it, delicate citrus nuances accompany the long finish.

Serve it at 10 to 12 °C, not too cold, so that the nutty tones come into their own. It goes well with fried zander, veal ragout, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or an aged mountain cheese.
