The KRISPEL Chardonnay Straden Vulkanland Steiermark DAC 2022 is a white wine full of character with origin, depth and timeless elegance. Grown in the region around Straden in Vulkanland Styria, this Chardonnay impressively reflects the power and character of the Styrian terroir. The Krispel winery, one of the flagships of south-eastern Styria, stands for uncompromising quality, regional identity and a modern interpretation of traditional varieties. The volcanic soil, coupled with the microclimatic influence of the hilly landscape around Straden, gives this wine its unmistakable structure and finesse.

The wine was matured for 10 months in large French oak barrels (1,500-2,000 liters), which gives the wine depth, creaminess and spice without overpowering its freshness and clarity. This ageing method skillfully balances fruit, texture and subtle wood notes. The ageing potential is 8 to 10 years, which also makes the wine exciting for collectors and discerning connoisseurs. The KRISPEL Chardonnay is a prime example of modern, terroir-driven Chardonnay from Austria - puristic, powerful and yet finely drawn.
