Quintessenz South Tyrolean Chardonnay DOC

The Quintessenz Chardonnay from the Kellerei Kaltern shows the precise, cool side of the grape variety: clear in style, powerful on the palate, and with salty length. The grapes grow on the slopes around Kaltern in South Tyrol. Warm days and cool nights bring freshness and aromatic depth together there, and the Kellerei Kaltern stands for this origin in the South Tyrolean lowlands and on Lake Kaltern.

It glows in a clear straw yellow in the glass. On the nose, fine citrus notes meet exotic fruit and subtle wood hints. The dry white wine feels precise and dense on the palate, carried by fresh minerality and a lively acidity that gives it tension. The finish is long and salty, the balance between fruit, structure, and freshness is harmonious.

Recommendation: Serve it at 10 to 12 °C with fried fish, crustaceans, or Mediterranean dishes with olive oil and herbs. It also makes a good impression with seafood risotto, creamy pasta dishes, or aged mountain cheese. A white wine for the evening with friends at the table, just as it is for a quiet meal for two.
