To the eye, it displays a golden yellow colour, enlivened by subtle greenish reflections. The aromatic profile is \u003cstrong\u003edistinctly mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e, with hints of flint interwoven with notes of ripe apricot, mango, and delicate buttery and yeasty nuances. On the palate, it is dry and \u003cstrong\u003epleasantly creamy\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by lively acidity that gives great juiciness to the sip. The elegant structure is balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003econtinuous savoury tension\u003c\/strong\u003e, guiding the tasting towards a fresh, long, and persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the Gaun vineyard, located on the alluvial cone of Magrè within the Löwengang estate in Trentino-Alto Adige. The vines grow at altitudes between two hundred and ten and six hundred and fifty metres, sinking their roots into \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous and gravelly soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of sandy origin. The area benefits from a warm microclimate tempered by \u003cstrong\u003estrong temperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e between day and night, an essential factor for preserving the freshness and aromatic precision of the grapes. The site’s name pays homage to Baron Gaun, a former owner, and identifies a prime area for this variety in the Dolomites Vineyards region, offering a faithful expression of the \u003cstrong\u003emountain landscape\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the harvest, vinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e activated exclusively by indigenous yeasts, including partial contact with whole bunches to impart greater structure and a subtle phenolic note. The wine then matures through \u003cstrong\u003eageing on fine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for about nine months, skilfully divided between large wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks. This technical choice enhances flavour development while maintaining the original clarity of the fruit. The entire production process follows strict practices, making this label suitable even for those following a \u003cstrong\u003evegan diet\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay Gaun by Alois Lageder pays tribute to Baron Gaun, the historic owner of the Löwengang estate.
