Complex oak-aged Chardonnay from the Tyrolean Alps with flavours of pineapple, vanilla and honey
Maturum is the high-end selection of K.Martini & Sohn, a Swiss-Italian winemaking family that has been producing premium wines in South Tirol since 1979. Their Chardonnay is likely to impress you with its intense aromas and complex flavours. This wine has been recognised by independent experts, winning the Decanter Bronze Medal along with numerous other international awards.
This Maturum Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown in Girlan, at the north end of the famous “wine road”, or Weinstraße, near Bolzano, in the centre of Alto Adige. The wine is fermented in French oak barriques to develop complex flavours.
Pale gold colour. On the nose, this wine has expressive aromas of pineapple, yellow apple, melon and pear, complimented by notes of vanilla, caramel, honey, toast and ginger. In the mouth, Maturum Chardonnay offers fresh acidity, a rich texture and a full body, and a long finish of melon and honey.
Residual sugar: 1.2 g /l,

PaulM029 –
We sometimes have doubts about Chardonnay unless of course a special occasion calls for Burgundy but this one has much of the more expensive virtues. It’s creamy, full of flavour with a good nose, ripe for drinking any time. We found it strong enough to deal with tuna.
Neither over-sweet or over-dry this Chardonnay is just perfect! Thank you!
