Crystal clear, sparkling straw yellow color initially develops a mineral aroma of flint and walnut. Gradually, a bundle of yellow, exotic and floral fruit aromas enriches the complex bouquet. On the palate, this wine is intense and juicy, in dialogue with pleasant acidity and fine tannins. It demonstrates all its body and balance with clear sustainability in the finish.

After being softly pressed, the must is spontaneously fermented in small oak barrels. The young wine undergoes malolactic fermentation on yeasts. After one year, the quantity of wine is brought together and clarified naturally in steel tanks for six months. AU Chardonnay Reserve is bottled at the appropriate lunar phases and matures in the bottle for another year.

A life for wine. For generations.

Before the end of World War II, Herbert Tiefenbrunner (1928-2015) took up the art of master cellarer at the young age of 15. In 1968, his wife Hilde opened the food court. In 2000, it was our turn to commit ourselves to carrying on our family’s winemaking culture and tradition.
