WINE DESCRIPTION
Alois Lageder Löwengang Chardonnay is a distinguished wine from the Alto Adige region in Italy, sourced from the finest vineyards of the Löwengang estate in Magrè. Made by the biodynamic pioneer producer, Alois Lageder, this Chardonnay presents a harmonious and well-structured profile, with mineral undertones and a pleasant freshness typical of mountain wines. The wine undergoes a spontaneous fermentation in barriques and large wooden barrels, followed by aging on lees, resulting in a complex and full-bodied character. This wine, a pioneer in the international white wine market in the 1980s, showcases the essence of the terroir of Alto Adige and the craftsmanship of the producer.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Alois Lageder Löwengang Chardonnay is an exceptional wine that showcases the best qualities of the Chardonnay grape variety.With its elegant and refined character, this wine is sure to impress even the most discerning wine enthusiasts.
On the nose, the Alois Lageder Löwengang Chardonnay offers enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of citrus and vanilla. These aromas are beautifully complemented by subtle notes of oak, adding depth and complexity to the wine.
The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and creamy texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of ripe peach, pear, and melon dominate, accompanied by a refreshing acidity that balances the wine perfectly. The oak influence is well-integrated, providing a touch of spice and a lingering finish.
This Chardonnay is a great example of the quality and craftsmanship that Alois Lageder is known for. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including roasted chicken, seafood, and creamy pasta dishes. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with food, the Alois Lageder Löwengang Chardonnay is a true delight for the senses.
