The Salzl Chardonnay Premium 2022 is a powerful, complex yet exceptionally elegant white wine from the Seewinkel region of Burgenland – a prime example of masterful craftsmanship and uncompromising quality. Made from 100 per cent Chardonnay, this premium wine showcases the full expressive power of the grape variety whilst impressively highlighting the characteristics of the terroir. The vines grow on Paratschernosem soil, a loamy-sandy subsoil with a high gravel content, which lends the wine its dense structure and pronounced minerality.

Alcoholic fermentation takes place at 15 °C in small oak barrels, in which the wine is subsequently aged on its fine lees – including regular stirring (bâtonnage). This traditional method not only lends the Chardonnay Premium a creamy texture, but also great depth and aromatic density. With an alcohol content of 14% vol., it is powerful yet balanced, with impressive ageing potential until at least 2034 when stored under optimal conditions.

A wine for discerning connoisseurs – powerful yet never overpowering, finely structured yet with plenty of punch on the palate. The Salzl Chardonnay Premium 2022 is a great wine that impresses both on its own and as a dining companion, and is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Chardonnay shines with an intense straw-yellow colour and silvery highlights. The nose reveals a pronounced aroma of pineapple, honeydew melon and yellow tropical fruits, underpinned by Golden Delicious apple, subtle woody notes and a hint of clove. Delicate herbal nuances round off the complex bouquet. On the palate, the wine is juicy, full-bodied and lively, with a fresh, salty minerality, plenty of stone fruit, a creamy texture, subtle vanilla and toasted notes, as well as delicate hints of caramel, nougat, apple and pear in the long-lasting finish.

The Salzl Chardonnay Premium 2022 is a perfect accompaniment to white meat, poultry, as well as seafood such as shellfish, offal (e.g. sweetbreads or liver) and Asian dishes with aromatic spices. Thanks to its low histamine content, it is even suitable for dark meat for those with histamine intolerance. Serve it at 10–12 °C in a large Burgundy glass – for a deep, multi-layered and long-lasting taste experience of the highest calibre.
