Andriano Doran Sudtirol Alto Adige Chardonnay Riserva 2022 750ml

96 JS: “A toasty wine with citrus fruit and cedar, more expressive on the medium- to full-bodied palate with a lot of tension and zesty acidity. The long finish is full of salted lemons. Drink or hold.”
 
93 Vinous: “The 2022 Chardonnay Riserva Doran is rich and nearly confectionery in the glass, as almond custard mixes with vanillin spice and crushed apples to form its seductive bouquet. It is more lifted than expected, built on purity, with flinty orchard fruits and melon tones that coast along a wave of silken textures. Energetic and long, yet also structured, this leaves nuances of lemony spice and ginger through the beautifully detailed and refined finale.”
 
93 WA: “The Cantina Andriano (Kellerei Andrian) 2022 Alto Adige Chardonnay Riserva Doran shows aromas of ripe peach, candied orange skin and apple pie with the crust. This release of 7,000 bottles is fermented in oak and matured on the lees for 12 months in tonneaux. These steps help to build the soft volume you feel on the mid-palate. It ends with spicy freshness.”
