Löwengang Inedito II
True to Alois Lageder's form, this wine is something out of the ordinary: a multi-vintage blend of barrel-aged Alto Adige Chardonnay. In fact, it's so interesting (and delicious) that I've nominated it as one of my Wines of the Year for 2023. Combining components from 2013 through to 2021 which have aged in neutral oak barrels, this second edition of the concept is nutty and creamy with a buttery edge, cut by a lick of lime. Soft, rich and round, there's an intense core of juicy orange and citrus peel with an oxidative Sherry-like complexity, showing lovely texture and a bright, saline and gastronomic character which rings out on the long finish. Only 3,000 bottles of this edition will be released, so if you see it on a wine list, buy it!
