Austria, Leithaberg DAC
Chardonnay
Description
Pale straw-yellow. On the nose apricot and crisp pear, paired with hay and delicate toffee, accompainied by flint stone. On the palate black pepper and a smoky minerality; creaminess and depth from maturation in large oak cask, vibrant acidity creates an elegant drinking pleasure. Eternal finish!
