Chardonnay Ried Umriss 2020 Grosse Reserve

19,50 

Strong wines cultivated at strong vineyards

Variety: Chardonnay
Chardonnay is an excellent white wine grape named after a small wine village in Burgundy. This grape variety offers a wide range of gustatory sensations. This is probably the reason why today it is available worldwide and very popular. At the vineyard named Umriss, the Chardonnay may reach its full maturity. Also at the cellar we provide it with the necessary time to mature. For a period of 16 months it matures  in a French oak barrel.

Tasting: Medium golden yellow, vanilla and fine roasted aromas on the nose, as on the palate, exotic ripe fruit, especially pineapple and mango, nutty components, harmonious with a balanced character and creamy structure, full-bodied, powerful finish.

Best served with: Paprika chicken with olives, porcino risotto, chicken curry with rice, duck goulash Szegedin style, zander in mushroom crust, polenta soup with saffron and goat cheese.

    • Vinyard Umriss

      The highest elevation of the Grossriede “Umriss” is planted with our Burgundies. The limestone and shell limestone soils create perfect conditions for great,  wines.

    • Aging potential

      strong Pinots have always had their place with us. Wonderful for long storage and bottle aging, which only show their full potential over the decades.

    • Pinot Gris white but different

      Orange Pinot Gris Ried Kreften was fermentated on the mash (whole berries). Due to the contact with the grape skin, the wines get a more intense color and more tannin.

    • Harvest 2018
