Weingut Jaunegg Chardonnay Sand & Gravel 2021

These soils provide excellent drainage, supply essential minerals, and their higher pH level contributes to the balance of the wines. This makes them ideal for cultivating white grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Weißburgunder, and Grauburgunder, which thrive in this region.

The Chardonnay offers a rich and complex flavor profile, showcasing aromas of ripe fruits, citrus fruits, apples, and pears. Aging in large oak barrels imparts subtle notes of toast, vanilla, and nuts to the wine. The mineral quality of the soil adds freshness and a slight salty nuance.
