Peter Zemmer Chardonnay 2024
Peter Zemmer Chardonnay 2024 is a crisp and elegant white wine from the Alto Adige region in Northern Italy, a territory famous for producing some of the country's most refined and mineral-driven white wines.
The Zemmer family has been producing wine in the village of Cortina (Kurtinig an der Weinstraße) since 1928. Their winemaking philosophy for this bottling emphasizes the unique alpine terroir, sourcing grapes from vineyards planted in calcareous clay and gravel soils located between 240 and 500 metres in altitude. This Chardonnay is crafted to be a "purist" expression, focusing on fresh fruit and mountain mineral tension rather than heavy oak influence.
Wine Description
The 2024 vintage presents a pale straw yellow color with brilliant greenish reflections. The nose is clear and inviting, featuring a broad palette of fruit aromas including pineapple, banana, and melon, accented by delicate hints of dandelion flowers and a touch of white pepper. On the palate, the wine is dry and medium-bodied, offering a "pleasing fullness" balanced by an animating acidity. It is characterized by its fresh, lively mouthfeel and a medium-long finish that maintains a spicy, mineral edge.
The wine is 100% Chardonnay, subjected to a gentle pressing immediately after harvest. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 19°C, followed by a partial malolactic fermentation to add a touch of texture while preserving the wine's characteristic mountain freshness. This 2024 release typically has an ABV of 13.5% to 14%.
Food Pairing
The vibrant acidity and tropical fruit notes of this Alto Adige Chardonnay make it a versatile partner for light, flavorful dishes:
Appetizers: Excellent as an aperitif or paired with light starters like vegetable terrines or fresh salads.
Seafood: Complements grilled white fish, seafood pasta, or shellfish served with lemon and herbs.
Poultry: A natural match for roasted chicken or turkey breast with a light buttery sauce.
Vegetarian: Pairs beautifully with asparagus risotto or spring vegetable pastas.
