Erwin Sabathi Winery Pössnitzberg Vineyard Old Vines Chardonnay STK 2016

Erwin Sabathi Winery Ried Pössnitzberg Chardonnay Alte Reben STK 2016 This Chardonnay comes from the Ried Pössnitzberg vineyard and is made from old vines; the 2016 vintage shapes the clear, substantial structure of this STK wine. The combination of long-lived vines and careful aging gives the wine depth, substance, and a fine balance. Sabathi focuses on terroir-driven Chardonnay wines where precision and transparency take precedence over opulent fruit, and the Ried Pössnitzberg lends the wine a distinctive character in terms of density, structure, and mineral notes. Tasting Note: In the glass, it shows a pale golden color. The nose opens with restrained minerality, complemented by fine freshness; on the palate, the wine appears focused, with well-integrated acidity, subtle creaminess, and a long, elegant finish. The texture conveys substance, while remaining refined and reliably developing. Food Pairing Recommendation: The wine accompanies light poultry dishes, seafood in delicate sauces, and creamy risottos equally well. It also harmonizes with roasted veal or turbot. Complementary Food Pairing: serve it at a moderate temperature to allow its structure and nuances to unfold.
