Weingut Hiedler Kittmannsberg 1 ÖWT Chardonnay 1996

Weingut Hiedler’s Kittmannsberg 1 ÖWT Chardonnay 1996 is a distinctive Austrian white from one of the estate’s most expressive vineyard sites. Grown on limestone-rich soils and shaped by a sunny exposure, it offers a clear sense of terroir, alongside the depth and complexity that come from early, ambitious use of barrel fermentation and maturation. This is a wine made for long ageing, and today it stands as a fascinating snapshot of Hiedler’s thoughtful approach to Chardonnay in the 1990s.

Makuprofiili
Now fully mature, the wine shows a deep golden hue that reflects its age and evolution in bottle. The nose is layered and complex, with aromas of dried fruit, honey, toasted nuts, and subtle spice from oak, all woven together with a quiet mineral note. On the palate, it is rounded and textured, with soft, integrated acidity and a generous mouthfeel. Flavours of baked apple, caramel, and nutty richness lead into a long, nuanced finish with mineral depth. While it is drinking beautifully now, this style was built for longevity, and its complexity remains a key part of its appeal.

Viininvalmistus
Kittmannsberg is one of the estate’s most characterful vineyards, where chalky limestone soils and strong sun exposure help produce Chardonnay with pronounced structure and terroir expression. The grapes were selected from low-yield parcels and harvested with quality in mind, then fermented in barrel before ageing in oak casks. This combination of site selection, careful fruit sourcing, and restrained oak maturation created a wine with both power and finesse.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This mature Chardonnay pairs well with rich poultry dishes, roast chicken, veal, lobster, scallops, or creamy mushroom preparations, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 10–12°C, to preserve its nuance and texture. Decanting is optional but can be beneficial for gently opened older bottles, helping the aromas unfold more fully.
