Chardonnay – Südsteiermark, Gamlitz
Chardonnay is known for its versatility and ability to clearly express terroir and vinification.
Fermentation and aging take place in both stainless steel tanks and used oak barrels for at least 6 months. This combination ensures a balance between freshness and subtle oak influence, without the oak dominating.
In the glass, this Chardonnay displays aromas of vanilla, tropical fruit, and juicy pear, complemented by subtle citrus and delicate notes of oak and flowers. On the palate, a harmony emerges between minerality and creaminess, with freshness and structure remaining balanced.
Serve around 8–10 °C to optimally experience freshness and texture.
Weingut Hannes Sabathi is a family business in Gamlitz with approximately 70 hectares of vineyards. The philosophy 'less is more' is central: minimal intervention and maximum respect for soil and vintage.
