Chardonnay Barrique 2015

The Chardonnay grape has always been esteemed as being able to yield excellent white wines. The grape is common in Austria since many decades at least but often referred to by one of its many synonyms like Morillon or Feinburgunder. But that did of course never prevent it from showing its quality which made Chardonnay wines famous and highly-valued all over the world. Barrique Chardonnays occupy a special position here. Fermentation and aging in new small oak barrels lead to a wine with a distinctive international character that stands out from the crowd of typical Austrian white wines.
