A nice example of traditional method from Styria region in Austria. Chardonnay (or Morillon, which is a local name) shows its best- aromas of green grass, citrus, flowers and green apple. The body is quite full for a Sekt, but with a typical aftertaste of apricot, peach, bread and yeast. — 7 years ago

Curve of Grau, Weißburgunder & Morillon. Nice complexity & depth with apricot & peach, some hay, a bit of herby minerality and nicely integrated wood. Round yet with character and good length. Very good. — 6 years ago
Needed to warm up a bit but once open was wonderful. Slightly cloudy unfiltered appearance, toasty orchard fruit with a bit of lemon and tarragon. Learned later that Morillon = Chard but totally different from a white burg or Cali chard or anything else really — 7 years ago
Fruchtige Stachelbeernoten. Ein Traum! — 8 years ago
Had this a few months ago at Wildair and was really impressed by its flavor and freshness. First off, it's in a beautiful heavy amphorae bottle. This wine is a skin contact amber orange liquid, a blend of 80% Sauvignon and 20% Chardonnay (called Morillon locally). Hand harvested and half are stemmed. Receives 6-12 months of skin contact in used oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, before transferred to oval wooden tanks. Lightly sulfured at bottle, cloudy and unfiltered. It can hold up in body and tannin like a red, almost tastes like cider, lemony and herbaceous. — 8 years ago
It's a joy to find a true morillon, a true unoaked Chardonnay with the body of white burgundy and the floral touch of a good Sauvignon blanc. But what is truly great about this wine is the subtle hint of yeast from the nose to the finish. I'm buying a case tomorrow. — 9 years ago
Great nose on this one. Lots of fruit and easy to drink without food. — 10 years ago
