Description
The Ried Kogelberg Chardonnay Alte Reben 2023 is one of Weingut Kodolitsch's most expressive Burgundy-style wines. The old vines in the Kogelberg vineyard yield only small quantities, but produce grapes of exceptional concentration and depth. The barren soils and the special microclimate of Southern Styria give the wine a distinctive minerality and an unmistakable regional character. Kodolitsch masterfully combines power and elegance in an impressive way.
The 2023 vintage presents itself as complex, precise, and remarkably balanced. The substance of the old vines provides depth and structure, while the cool freshness of the site lends the wine tension and vibrancy. Instead of opulent richness or dominant oak influence, this Chardonnay focuses on finesse, minerality, and a calm, almost Burgundian elegance. It is precisely this combination of power, precision, and origin that makes it particularly characterful.
The aging process is carried out with great care and supports the wine's complexity without obscuring the individuality of the site. This results in a Chardonnay with impressive depth, fine texture, and a long, complex finish. The Ried Kogelberg Chardonnay Alte Reben 2023 impressively demonstrates the potential of great Styrian Burgundy-style wines and is one of the winery's most exciting offerings.
