Alois Lageder 'Lowengang' Chardonnay Sudtirol - Alto Adige 2020 Chateau La Lagune savory character and candied orangeA rich white in a graceful frame, with a pronounced streak of salinity working with vibrant acidity to define the medley of baked pineapple and persimmon fruit, roasted almond and pastry cream, Meyer lemon peel and elderflower notes. Expressive and well knit, with the long finish echoing the flavor range and packing additional mineral and spice elements. Chardonnay. 93 Pts Wine Spectator
