Tasting notes
The Alois Lageder 2022 Chardonnay Löwengang (made with organic and biodynamic fruit) is luminous and bright in appearance. Seeing a spontaneous fermentation in oak barrel, the wine reveals sweet citrusy aromas of preserved lemon followed by minty apple. It also shows nutty elements to match the zesty flavors and creamy texture of the mouthfeel. This Chardonnay ends with soft layers of pastry and lemon custard cream. Production is 46,600 bottles.

The 2022 Chardonnay Löwengang is spicy to the core as a bouquet of dusty dried flowers, gingery spices, mint leaves, pine shavings and nectarines forms its truly seductive aromatics. It is elegant with seamlessly silken textures and depths of ripe apple and pear that sweep across a wave of tantalizing acidity. Dramatically long and structured, this echoes with notes of sour citrus and a crunchy mineral saturation, all under an air of chamomile. It is simply stunning today, yet with the balance for a long evolution.
