Tasting notes
The 2019 Ried Zieregg GSTK Morillon is a deep, intense and complex Chardonnay from 40+-year-old vines on the coral limestone soils of the Oberer Steilriegel, which is the west-facing part of the Zieregg. Aged for 24 months in Burgundian pièces and bottled unfiltered, the wine opens with very expressive, deep, pure, fresh and savory limestone fruit with lemon and saline aromas. Round and elegant on the well-balanced palate, this is a savory and saline, very stimulating Zieregg that is less powerful and rich than the 2021 yet possibly more stimulating at this stage. The finish is elegant and salivating, and the tannins are well integrated. 13% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. Tasted in Lech/Arlberg in December 2024.

A very impressive chardonnay with concentration, structure and the special herbal and citric freshness of the region. Tons of chalky minerality and serious herbal complexity at the very long, tight finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Glass stopper.
