Alois Lageder Chardonnay Löwengang

It is a very nice wine.

This bottle of Löwengang Chardonnay is of a light gold colour with green highlights. On the nose, aromas of Golden Delicious apples are supported by caramelized apples, vanilla and poached pears. On the palate one feels that this is a dry wine endowed with refreshing acidity, generous alcohol and a rather full body weight. This is still a youthful wine where oak flavours and influence stands in front of a good fruit concentration which will, in due time, rebalance everything and will come to the fore. The wine finishes with a signature telling us that quality french oak was used in the process. To compensate this, a pairing with a grilled salmon will help you find immediate pleasure and will persuade you in being patient while the rest of your case of wine will come to a mature fruition.

Perfect Start of the Evening

Loewengang is one of my favorite long since. Refreshing taste, long finish, crispy yet refreshing fruity and mineral taste goes perfectly with fish and seafood, but I like it as well with Thai or Chinese food. The wine is initially delicate, but the main note and the aftertaste is much stronger , leaves you eager to have another sip. I suggest to serve it really cool, then the feeling of the main note is stronger. The wine remains long on the palate and rear of the tongue leaving refreshing feeling.
