Ewald Zweytick – November Rain Chardonnay 2012 – Südsteiermark

The colour is medium deep golden. The nose is rather tropical with some development here. We have some indication of sweetness. Some hints of honey. Fruit is rather tropical here, with ripe yellow plum, fresh pineapple. There is a slight hint of nuttiness. Very gentle oak if any. Quite full-bodied on the palate. Despite that flirt with sweetness on the nose, the wine remains classically dry with a quite good bite. Mellow acidity, but bone-dry so it still offers a nice sensation on the palate. Aftertaste, I would say, is on the longer side. It sits on the palate for a while. Offering fresh almond, good level of freshness, zesty notes and yellow fruit.
