The palate is full and creamy but stays fresh, carrying a mineral edge through a long finish. Chardonnay 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlois Lageder is a family firm in its sixth generation: Johann Lageder began trading wine in 1823 alongside his work as a wagon maker, and in 1934 the family acquired the Löwengang estate at Magrè, still its headquarters today. The fruit comes from selected parcels there, at 230 to 330 metres on sandy, gravelly soils with a high limestone content, hand-harvested from a vineyard certified biodynamic. Fermentation is spontaneous, with wild yeasts in barrique, followed by eleven months on the fine lees in barrique. The 2022 season brought early budding and a summer of extreme heat, but occasional showers and careful vineyard work saw the vines through, and the harvest came almost two weeks early with balanced acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 10–12°C.
