Chardonnay 'Cardellino' 2021 - South Tyrol DOC
The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' was Elena Walch's first wine and is still probably the winery's most popular wine. According to an old tale, the goldfinch - the 'Cardellino' - only
builds its nest in Chardonnay vines, while it does not nest in other grape varieties. Elena Walch has thus dedicated her debut, an elegant Chardonnay full of character, to
this faithful little bird, which has won many lovers with its minerality, freshness, coupled with suppleness and excellent structure. The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' has long
since become a South Tyrolean classic and continues to be the most popular wine at the Walch family's table. A wine to which one remains loyal, just as the Cardellino
remains loyal to its Chardonnay.
The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' convinces with a strong, straw-yellow colour, with a complex interplay of fruity aromas, citrus and orange peel, some lime blossom, mineral
richness and a spicy hint of tobacco. On the palate, this classic from Elena Walch surprises with exciting freshness and mineral race, with elegance and juicy length:
inviting, refreshing and easy to drink.
OUTCOME OF THE YEAR 2021: we are delighted with a vintage of outstanding quality, especially for our white wines! A dry and cool spring led to a late flowering of the
vines, followed by a warm and dry June. After a volatile midsummer, there was a surprising change in the weather in mid-August, which brought dream weather until the end
of September and created the very best conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest began in mid-September, about 10 days later than last year. Blue skies
and lots of sunshine as well as midsummer daytime temperatures and autumnally cool nights enabled the grapes to reach ideal sugar levels while retaining very good
acidity. Accordingly, the wines of the 2021 vintage show a markedly high quality.
VINIFICATION: gentle pressing, static clarification, fermentation at a controlled temperature of about 20°C, long contact with the yeast after fermentation. Part of the must
(about 15%) is fermented in French oak barrels where it matures for six months. The assemblage takes place in spring.
Alcohol: 13,50% Vol.
Total acidity: 6.7 g/L
Residual sugar: 0,5 g/L
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
