Tiglat Chardonnay
Filed under: Wine
Now that summer has officially begun, I've officially switched from sipping red wine to white wine. One of my favorite warm-weather treats is a cool glass of Austrian Chardonnay. My favorite this year is the Tiglat -- which is named after Austrian wine-maker Heinz Velich's oldest vineyard. Planted in 1959, this Chardonnay vineyard is one of the oldest in all of Austria. At any rate, these old vines create a beautiful wine with good fruit and fine mineral notes. Velich utilizes very strict selection when picking the grape. Half of the wine actually spends 18 months in oak barriques, later to be joined with the rest of the wine in steel tanks for an additional two months. You can order a bottle or a case on-line through Winemonger.com. Price: $54.99
