2021 Tscheppe, Salamander (Chardonnay) Reserve, Styria, Austria
$78.00
Soil: limestone/opok. Estate-owned, farmed organically by Andreas himself
Varieties: Chardonnay
Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. The grapes are pressed to old big barrels where they fermented spontaneously. As the fermentation stopped due to weather damage and severe temperature drop in the cellar, the wine was left in wooden barrels for an extra 12 months while waiting for fermentation to start again. Finally bottled in April 2024 in a normal bottle. Unfined and unfiltered, 5ppm sulfur added at bottling
