The KRISPEL Chardonnay Straden Vulkanland Steiermark DAC 2023 is an outstanding organically grown white wine that impressively demonstrates just how much character and terroir can be found in a Chardonnay from Styria’s Vulkanland region. The Weingut Krispel, situated in the picturesque region of Straden, has always combined sustainable farming with meticulous craftsmanship in the vineyard and cellar. This vintage comes from carefully tended vineyards on volcanic soil and impresses with its finesse, structure and an elegant interplay of aromas.

The wine is aged for ten months in large French oak barrels – a vinification process that lends the wine depth, subtle spice and a delicate creaminess without masking its freshness. Despite its power and ageing potential, this Chardonnay is surprisingly easy to drink, with a polished balance and a long, mineral-driven finish. The screw cap ensures optimum freshness and longevity. With ageing potential until 2035, this DAC wine is suitable both for immediate enjoyment and for further ageing. A white wine that represents the style of the Vulkanland region at its very best – clear, powerful and terroir-driven.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the KRISPEL Chardonnay 2023 presents a pale golden-yellow colour with greenish highlights. On the nose, aromas of red apple, delicate floral nectar and a subtle smoky note unfold, developing into clove and allspice. Dry and complex on the palate, it displays a spicy, almost salty quality. The initial impression is delicately opulent, with a creamy texture accompanied by well-integrated acidity. The wine finishes with a crisp, mineral-driven, long-lasting finish.

Acidity: 6.3 g/l

Residual sugar: 2.2 g/l

Serving temperature: 8–10 °C

This Chardonnay pairs perfectly with robust, aromatic dishes and reveals its full potential when served with osso collo or Wollschwein ‘bat’ cutlet. It also pairs superbly with veal steak and gnocchi with porcini mushrooms. Its complex structure makes it an outstanding accompaniment to fine dining – whether for a festive dinner or a seasonal gourmet snack. A wine for connoisseurs who appreciate elegance, depth and terroir in their glass.
