Kollwentz Ried Gloria Chardonnay 2024 Organic, 0,75 l

One of the best, if not the very best, Chardonnay in Austria! Year after year, the GLORIA ranks amongst the country’s very best and is highly praised by both national and international critics. This exceptional white wine was named ‘Wine of the Year’ by international wine critic James Suckling, who awarded it 99 points, making it the country’s finest wine!

The south-east-facing Gloria vineyard was first mentioned in documents as early as 1570 and is surrounded by the forests of the Leitha Mountains. It is perfectly suited to Chardonnay vines, which grow on very calcareous brown earth. Matured in small French oak barrels, the wine is certainly still very young, but is nonetheless already very drinkable.

Every sip is intense and incredibly complex. As in Burgundy, the grape variety takes a back seat here, allowing the terroir of this vineyard to shine through. Yeast, brioche, delicate, subtle oak notes with ripe yellow fruits. Pure minerality! Finely structured and well-balanced right through to the endlessly long finish. A truly magnificent experience on the palate! Enormous ageing potential of 20 years and more.

A wine for contemplation and for those very special moments in life.
