The Chardonnay “Ateyon” 2024 from the
Loacker Estate is a characterful,
biodynamically produced white wine from the
Bolzano area in South Tyrol. It combines the classic strengths of Chardonnay with a distinctive, terroir-driven style shaped by its alpine origins.
In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour with golden highlights, indicating maturity and depth. On the nose, the wine reveals an intense and layered aromatic profile, featuring warm notes of almond, marzipan and subtle vanilla, complemented by delicate hints of exotic fruit that add elegance and complexity. On the palate, Ateyon is full-bodied, smooth and well-structured, supported by a lively yet finely integrated acidity that provides freshness and balance. The texture is dense without heaviness, leading to a long, persistent finish that highlights the precision and quality of this Chardonnay expression.
The name “
Ateyon” stands for a Chardonnay that deliberately moves beyond straightforward varietal typicity, offering a distinctive interpretation of the Burgundian classic within the alpine terroir of South Tyrol.
From a technical perspective, the wine is primarily based on Chardonnay, occasionally complemented by small proportions of other varieties in certain vintages, enhancing complexity and reinforcing its individual style.
