Wieninger Chardonnay Grand Select

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2488

Two years in barrels, half of them new, have done nothing to dry out this succulent product of old vines on the edge of the Bisamberg, nor does 14.5% alcohol generate any heat. (“The first year you sometimes notice the alcohol in this bottling,” remarked Wieninger, “but then it integrates.”) A suggestively sweet as well as smoky meld of Persian melon with deeply toasted pecan and hickory informs a palate of custardy richness, mouthcoating and broad but not at all heavy. Savory finishing suggestions of herbs and veal stock put me in mind of a few of this estate’s best Grüner Veltliners.
