Prelude of oatmeal and roasted corn. With air opens a spectrum of aromas of chamomile, kumquat, hay flowers, as well as dried apricot. Taut on the palate, with linear body and cool acid tension. Delicately creamy and salty with nuances of blossom honey and lightly smoky hints. Seems very elegant and wonderfully balanced in the long finish. (Thomas Schabl, diploma sommelier)

grape variety

The grapes are medium-sized, slightly shouldered and ripen in late September, early October. The variety loves warm, chalky soils. Morillon is the name for Chardonnay in Styria.
