Nals Margreid KalkChardonnay - Private: $34.56/BTL - License: $29.49/BTL

Sold in cases of 12· Vendu en case de 12 92 points – James Suckling ; The Kalk Chardonnay 2024 from Nals Margreid is a precise, mineral-driven expression of Alto Adige, shaped by limestone-rich soils and a pronounced alpine climate. “Kalk,” meaning limestone, defines the wine’s identity, bringing clarity, tension, and a refined structural backbone. Sourced from vineyards at varying elevations, where warm sunlight is balanced by cool mountain nights, the wine retains exceptional freshness and aromatic lift. Winemaking is intentionally restrained, with fermentation primarily in stainless steel and minimal oak influence, allowing the terroir to remain front and centre. Stylistically, this Chardonnay sits close to a Chablis profile, emphasizing minerality, acidity, and precision over richness. It offers slightly more mid-palate generosity than classic Chablis, making it both approachable and highly versatile across a wide range of cuisines.
