Velich Tiglat Chardonnay - 2001(W-151)

Velich Tiglat Chardonnay
Full, Lush

Winery Story

The respected wine magazine Falstaff recently featured Heinz Velich as its cover story, and his dry white and dessert wines are the reason w... (more...)hy. Velich's planted only white wine grapes in his vineyard (45% Chardonnay, 45% Welschriesling, and 10% split between Muskat-Ottonel and Bouvier); it yields an annual production of 5000 cases (75% dry white, 25% sweet). The village is surrounded by many small ponds which create the microclimate magic here: they act as reflectors, beaming the sunlight onto the vines, ripening the grapes fat and full.

Tasting Note

This Chardonnay has become a cult wine in Europe, and it is not hard to tell why. A rich, ripe bouquet of orange zest, nuts, and plush fruit... (more...) fill the palate, with apricot and peach flavor helping to create a fine quality and balance. This delicious Austrian wine is available upon request only. To order more, please email sommelier@bottlenotes.com.

Crisp and clean Chard. Nice, not spectacular.

this is indeed a lush chardonnay; almost tipping to the swet side but with nice body - 3.5 stars really - but i'm saving 4 and 5 stars for real beauties.....
