Gamlitz Morillon – Chardonnay from Sattlerhof
The Sattlerhof Gamlitz Morillon 2022 is an elegant, dry Chardonnay from Styria in Austria - a Südsteiermark DAC regional wine.
From the start, the Gamlitz Morillon is juicy, with delicate acidity, and characterized by a fine spice and a memorable smokiness. Here too, it's the mix of "vegetal" and fruity aromas that makes this wine so exciting. On the nose, aromatic hazelnuts and a fine pear fruit join a fragrant herbaceous note. Filigree, slender, and with a light creaminess, that's how the Sattlerhof Gamlitz Morillon pleases. The Chardonnay is a good accompaniment to delicate stews, poultry and game birds like duck, or pâtés.
Sattlerhof – Winemaking
Steep vineyards, unpredictable weather, and diverse soils are the characteristics of the South Styrian wine region. The vines for this Gamlitz Morillon regional wine from Sattlerhof grow around the three-thousand-soul community of Gamlitz. On the steep slopes at 350–450 m above sea level, 15-35 year old vines stand on crystalline quartz sands with mica.
The ripe Chardonnay grapes from their own vineyards, which are sustainably and biodynamically farmed, are selectively hand-picked. After a short maceration period, the must is fermented without pumps in the impressive, newly built cellar in stainless steel tanks. Maturation also takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruitiness. A wine shaped by its terroir, quartz sand, and the cool microclimate around Gamlitz in South Styria, Austria.
