Chardonnay Riserva DOC 2019...
Complex Chardonnays from high altitudes are a rarity, but that is precisely where the appeal lies for us. Troy means 'path' in the language of our ancestors. The name<br />illustrates our long journey of research and experimentation with this noble grape variety.<br /><br />The winter ended with abundant snow in the mountains. Warmer temperatures in March and April caused premature and rather uneven budding in the well-supplied soils. A<br />cool May then delayed the flowering. In humid and hot June, a high fungal disease pressure developed, which could be contained through sensitivity and a lot of careful<br />manual work. The rest of the summer was largely dry and was only interrupted by short, heavy thunderstorms. Two hot spells had practically no negative effects. A<br />significant drop in the lowest temperatures began in mid-August. High temperature differences between day and night characterised the weather throughout the harvest. The<br />harvest took place about 14 days later than in the previous year. The white wines of the 2019 vintage show an impressive freshness, Gewürztraminer are characterised by<br />particular elegance. The red wines present a lot of fruit and a lively tannin structure. <br /><br />Grape variety: Chardonnay<br />Yield: 38 hl/hectare<br />Altitude: 500 - 550 m<br />Soil: calcareous gravel and clay soil<br />Age of vines: around 25 years, stocking on Guyot and simple, open pergola<br />Exposure: south-east<br />Climate: extreme interplay between sunny days influenced by the Mediterranean climate and night hours influenced by cold downdrafts from the surrounding mountains<br />Harvest: Beginning of October<br />Alcohol: 14,0 % vol<br />Total acidity: 6.1 g/l<br />Residual sugar: <2 g/l<br />
