Chardonnay "NAMA" 2020 Nals Margreid

Chardonnay "NAMA" Alto Adige DO

White wine

Origin: Italy, South Tyrolean lowlands: Margreid at 300-400m above sea level, south-southeast orientation

Producer: Nals Margreid

Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay hand-picked, dry, 30 - 40 year old vines

Soil: White, deep limestone gravel with well-aerated humus content

Vinification: Whole-cluster pressing, 18 months on the lees in small wood, merging of the grape musts, further maturation for 9 months on the lees in steel tanks and 12 months in the bottle

Highly elegant, long-lasting Chardonnay with a broad aroma profile: lots of yellow stone fruit notes of peach, apple, pear and honeydew melon, followed by elegant acacia blossom and spicy notes of almond and ginger, structure on the palate, dense and gripping, absolutely exciting with a fantastic finish.

The "Margreid" vineyard is one of the southernmost vineyards in South Tyrol, just before the transition to Trentino. Due to the warm southerly winds from Lake Garda, the climate here is Mediterranean with hot summers and mild winters. The downslope winds cause temperatures to fluctuate by up to 20 degrees.
