Vom Kalk Chardonnay, 2023 Bundle Delightfully delicate pepper and smokeMarkus Altenburger is one of the most progressive winemakers in Burgenland, and this cuvee tells you why. His Chardonnay grapes are grown on limestone rich clay soils around the Jois, with the ageing for this cuvee taking place in a mixture of concrete and large oak barrels, spending another year in bottle before release. Aiming for a different style with this vintage, the wine is taut and zesty, with savoury persistence and a saline finish.
