Similar to the Sauvingons, the Chardonnays from southern Styria have their unique style - neither French nor New World. These are very much mountain wines - more linear, cool, clear and with brilliant minerality. Thankfully, they still fly under the radar.
Quite restrained nose, very fresh, cool, mineral, with some fresh meadowherbs (lemon balm, dandelion), shy lemon peel, a hint of yellow stone fruit in the background.
On the palate this is focused, precise, tightly wound around a core of stony, salty minerality. Love the purity of the fruit and the juicy acidity. Very nice depth and great length. Highly drinkable, with nice complexity & elegance.

Restrained, cool, mineral Chardonnay. Some white fruit, some subtle toasty background, fresh!
Great concentration & precision in the palate, zingy, juicy acidity. Balance, depth, cool energy.

Mildly oxidized, gorgeously integrated Morillon/Sauvignon Blanc half-half, so brilliantly balanced and contemplative. Zero sulfur. Finally understand “clear and precise” as wine descriptors. — 5 years ago

Mountain wine from the Austrian-Slovenia border. Exuberant yellow pit fruit, saline/mineral, sweet grass. Joyful stuff, perfect with prosciutto and melon or (in this case) risotto with summer vegetables — 6 months ago
