Heinrich Chardonnay Leithaberg DAC 2020 12,5% Vol. 0,75l

CHARACTER

Chardonnay Leithaberg voices the soul of its roots with determination, purpose and courageous honesty. Initially cautiously reserved, this wine demands mindfulness, air, patience and a large glass before revealing its true nature.
