Loacker Schwarhof Chardonnay Ateyon IGT 2023 Bio, 0,75 L

Sometimes a wine surprises you where you least expect it. This Chardonnay does exactly that. Powerful and ripe, yet wonderfully balanced, it shows just how high the level in South Tyrol can be. From the Loacker winery comes a Chardonnay that makes an immediate impression, not through volume, but through style and confidence.

Warm days ensure perfectly ripe grapes, while cool nights preserve freshness. This balance is evident from the first moment. The nose shows ripe exotic fruit, hints of citrus, orange zest and a clear vanilla note from the barrique. It feels generous, but never excessive. On the palate, the wine is creamy and juicy, almost plump, yet beautifully framed by lively acidity. This keeps everything fresh, animated and very harmonious.

The oak influence is clearly present, but carefully measured. It adds depth, structure and length without overshadowing the fruit. Organic vineyard work and careful vinification bring clarity and precision, making this Chardonnay particularly compelling. It is a wine you want to spend time with, dense and layered, yet surprisingly elegant.

Its South Tyrolean origin adds tension and freshness. At the table, it pairs wonderfully with robust fish dishes, poultry, veal or creamy preparations. But honestly, enjoyed on its own from a large Burgundy glass, this Chardonnay truly shines. A wine with character, depth and plenty of flavour.
