Loacker Estate 2021 ATEYON CHARDONNAY I.G.T.
GRAPE: 90% Chardonnay, 10% Kerner
LOCATIONS: South Tyrol, Bozen & Umgebung, Italy
EYE: Golden yellow
NOSE: Warm and rich to the nose: aromas of almonds, marzipan, and vanilla
TASTE: Full and intense, yet balanced thanks to a vibrant acidity.
MATURING: 50% oak barrels and 50% small oak barrels for 11 months
NOTES: A late harvest and lovely, stable weather at the crush characterized Alto Adige’s 2021 vintage. The grapes could be left to ideally ripen, and thanks to the high temperature differentials between day and night, a great deal of aroma could form. The result is an extraordinary 2021 white wine vintage.

A SHORT STORY OF, LOACKER WEINGUT
It all started on a small hill above Bolzano in the heart of South Tyrol. In 1979, Rainer was bold enough to grow the first organic vineyard in the LOACKER wine estate – and was immediately labelled as out of his mind. This made him even more bullish and gave his creative mind power to fly even higher. Fast forward 40 plus years, the LOACKER Wine Estate is still a pioneer or, as they like to say, ‘no stranger to organic and bio-dynamic wine’. Today, all three sons, Hayo, Franz Josef and Hannes manage the wine estate in Bolzano with their father’s same rebel heart and commitment.
Loacker estate runs over, 3 wineries, 7 hectare and produces 60,000 bottles per year with glass or natural corks and print lables on FSC paper whilst using all resources sparingly. These bottles are split between Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Vernatsch, Lagrein, Merlot and Cabernet
