From deep moraine soil with a high salt and lime content, Vigna Au first opens with flint and walnut and then beguiles with a complex bouquet of yellow, exotic fruits. Intense, juicy, with just the right amount of acidity, it has a maturation potential of at least 15 years. Just 2,000 bottles of this exceptional Chardonnay are bottled each year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, elegant light gold colour. Discreet hazelnuts and pine nuts on the nose, then cold smoke, subtle pineapple and banana, roasted hazelnuts in the background. Juicy and with very good tension, shows lots of crisp fruit, well-integrated acidity, very long finish, fun." Falstaff

"The Vigna Au lies at a relatively low altitude of 300 metres above sea level in Kurtatsch-Margreid. Great aromas, with very clear citrus fruit and flavours of yellow fruit, paired with fine oak spice. Also mineral notes reminiscent of graphite and salt. Extremely juicy, clear and animating on the palate. Pithy final." Vinum

"The 2020 Chardonnay Riserva Vigna AU combines rich notes of almond custard and candy spice with an invigorating blend of crushed green apples and lime zest. Luxuriously round and supple, the 2020 flows across the palate with an abundance of mineral fruit accompanied by sour citrus. Lightly structured yet full of savoury tension, the 2020 finishes long with a saline tension that lingers." Vinous

"Roasted flavours, smoked almonds, nectarines and lemon meringue on the nose, followed by a full, toasty and firm body. Lots of wood, but also ripe fruit. Long finish." James Suckling

"Inviting and elegant nose of peach and white pepper, nectarine on the palate, fresh minerality and lively acidity." Decanter
