Chardonnay Ried Schüttenberg - Weingut Markowitsch

The Chardonnay Ried Schüttenberg, matured in barrel and originating from the wine-growing region of Lower Austria, presents itself in the glass in a bright golden yellow. When the glass is swirled, this white wine reveals a perfect balance, as it does not appear watery, syrupy, or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass. This varietal Austrian wine shows wonderfully expressive notes of mango and orange in the glass. These are joined by hints of mineral notes.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with only 1.1 grams of residual sugar. This is a true quality wine that clearly sets itself apart from simpler qualities and thus, despite all its dryness, this Austrian enchants with the finest balance. Flavor does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully light. Thanks to its pronounced acidity, the Chardonnay Ried Schüttenberg appears delightfully fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this youthful white wine from the wine-growing region of Lower Austria finally convinces with a remarkable length.
