Manincor Chardonnay Sophie Alto Adige 2019 - First Bottle

Reviews

97 James Suckling -
A sensationally elegant, silky chardonnay that effortlessly swallows up the oak (a toasted white-bread note) it has seen during barrel maturation. You could study the aromas of this wine all day, because each swirl of the glass reveals more nuances. Breathtakingly refined finish. And the best thing is that it doesn’t taste like any other chardonnay on Planet Wine! From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

About the Producer

Manincor wines are naturally pure. The 400 year-old wine estate, carefully and prudently extended by the wine cellar built beneath the vines and hardly noticeable from above, epitomizes today the tradition and aspirations of a superior wine culture. The families coat of arms symbolize Manincor which means "Hand on the heart" and can still be seen on the facade of the winery building today. The estate has ties with Austrian nobility and Counts. Count Michael Goess-Enzenberg on the estate's philosophy: "Long years of far-reaching development work are now bearing fruit. The prerequisites for producing these inimitable wines with strong personality are provided by the natural diversity of sites and soil compositions, vineyards entirely cultivated on bio-dynamic principles and an uncompromising determination." The estate also produces wines that include indigenous varieties and French varieties like Schiava, Moscato Giallo, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir.
