The wine

Description and technical sheet

Sanct Valentin Chardonnay 2024 offers a distinctive expression of Alpine Chardonnay: generous texture meets freshness and carefully integrated oak. Part of the St. Michael-Eppan flagship collection since 1986, it is made from carefully selected vineyard sites rather than relying on the grape variety alone to define its character.

Selected Eppan vineyards

The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grown at 450–550 metres above sea level, on southeast- and southwest-facing slopes. The soils consist of calcareous gravel and glacial moraine deposits. Vines are 10–32 years old, trained using the Guyot system. The winery reports yields of 45 hl/ha, with grapes harvested and selected by hand, usually from mid to late September.

Oak and concrete maturation

The wine undergoes both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, with subsequent lees ageing in barriques and tonneaux. After nearly a year, the different lots are blended and spend at least a further eight months in concrete vessels. This method builds a layered, rounded texture while preserving balance. Alcohol is 14% ABV, with total acidity reported at 5.70 g/l.

Tasting notes, food and cellaring

Straw yellow with subtle green highlights, it shows aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and gentle toast. The palate is full-bodied, buttery and mineral, supported by well-integrated acidity. The 2024 vintage received 94 points from Falstaff; the winery also lists 93 Henris points and a WineHunter Gold distinction.

Try it with fried seafood, porcini mushroom ravioli, Graukäse risotto, roast chicken or Wiener schnitzel. Serve at 10–12°C. The producer indicates ageing potential of ten years or more, making this an excellent choice for both carefully matched meals and cellaring.
