Tasting notes
The St. Michael-Eppan 2020 Alto Adige Chardonnay Sanct Valentin shows zesty fruit with chopped apple, quince and papaya. There is a spicy element as well with a combination of ginger and saffron. That fresh fruit cedes to flinty smoke and crushed stone. This wine shows beautifully in this warm and sunny vintage. It sees 11 months in oak and eight months in cement.

About this wine

Today, Sanct Valentin is known for its exceptional Chardonnay wines that are produced using traditional methods and modern techniques.
The winery is located in the heart of the Alto Adige region, which is known for its cool climate and mineral-rich soils. These conditions are ideal for growing Chardonnay grapes, which thrive in the region's unique terroir. Sanct Valentin's Chardonnay wines are characterized by their crisp acidity, complex flavors, and elegant structure.
Sanct Valentin's Chardonnay wines are produced using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure only the best fruit is used in the winemaking process. The grapes are then gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve their natural flavors and aromas.
After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for several months to add complexity and depth to the wine. The oak barrels used by Sanct Valentin are carefully selected to ensure they complement the wine's natural flavors and aromas without overpowering them.
Sanct Valentin produces several different styles of Chardonnay wines, each with its own unique character and flavor profile. The winery's classic Chardonnay is a crisp, refreshing wine with notes of green apple, citrus, and mineral. The wine is perfect for pairing with seafood, poultry, and light pasta dishes.
Sanct Valentin also produces a reserve Chardonnay, which is aged in oak barrels for a longer period to add complexity and depth to the wine. The reserve Chardonnay has a rich, creamy texture with notes of vanilla, toast, and spice. The wine is perfect for pairing with rich, flavorful dishes like roasted chicken, grilled fish, and creamy pasta dishes.
Overall, Sanct Valentin is a producer of exceptional Chardonnay wines that are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts around the world. The winery's commitment to quality and tradition is evident in every bottle of wine they produce
