The Tiefenbrunner 2018 Alto Adige Chardonnay Turmhof does a terrific job of showing the feather light and delicately fragrant side to Chardonnay. We all know that the grape is prone to absorb so much extra richness and concentration from winemaking and oak aging; however, this interpretation from the far north of Italy instead highlights the balanced freshness of the grape with peach, melon and pear-like aromas. There is a touch of honey or custard cream on the lean to mid-weight finish. A spot of acidity adds a last-minute sparkle.
