2022 Obegg Chardonnay, dry, 13% vol., Walter Polz

The Ried Obegg Chardonnay 2022 is a unique wine characterized by the combination of over 30-year-old vines and a high plateau of coral reef. The uniqueness of this terroir, characterized by the barrenness of the soil, gives this Chardonnay a distinctive note of intense minerality and a hint of salty freshness. The grapes for this wine are cultivated with great care and undergo a complex vinification process. The wine is aged in a harmonious blend of 500 liters of used barrels and 225 liters of new barrels. Spontaneous fermentation without the addition of sulfur and one year of aging on the fermentation lees contribute to the development of complexity and depth. The wine is then vinified for a further year in steel tanks to refine its structure. On the nose, the Ried Obegg Chardonnay 2021 presents finely discreet wood and subtle nutty aromas. This gives the wine an elegant texture and a fascinating richness of flavor. An exceptional wine that impressively captures the uniqueness of the terroir and the maturity of the old vines. Ideal for wine lovers seeking an expressive and refined Chardonnay.
