Production Details The producer describes a classic, light Wachau-style Chardonnay made without a woody note. Its package page states that the included 2022 Chardonnay was hand-harvested and came from Demeter-certified estate vineyards. Döllerer lists stainless-steel-tank élevage. Serving recommendations conflict: the producer gives 8–10°C, while Döllerer gives 10–12°C. The producer entry also displays an impossible April 2021 bottling date for the 2022 vintage, so no bottling-date claim is proposed.
Certifications Demeter
Tasting Notes Citrus, ripe pome fruit, grapefruit, orange, vineyard peach, greengage, yellow pear, Granny Smith apple, almond and white flowers; fresh, crisp and light-bodied rather than opulent.
