Abraham Chardonnay 2024

Chardonnay “Gottesacker” Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2024 | Weingut Abraham

The Chardonnay “Gottesacker” 2024 by Weingut Abraham is a masterful, profound, and brilliantly vertical interpretation of one of the world’s most noble grape varieties. Moving away from predictable, over-buttery commercial profiles, Marika and Martin Abraham craft an artisanal white wine defined by a cool, pristine alpine energy and a tight, elegant tension.

The name Gottesacker (meaning “God’s acre”) references a small, historic walled plot tucked behind the Capuchin church in Appiano. If you appreciate complex, vibrant white wines showcasing an intriguing chalky, slightly reductive character inspired by the finest benchmarks of Burgundy, this limited-production release is an absolute gem.

Appearance: Radiant straw yellow with bright, youthful green-gold glints.

Nose: Complex, aristocratic, and multi-layered. An elegant chalky, flinty opening gives way to crisp green apple, citrus zest, and white peach, layered with tropical fruit notes, toasted hazelnut, and a delicate touch of sweet spice from the wood.

Palate: Full-bodied, dense, and beautifully creamy on the entry. The substantial weight of the wine is immediately lifted and structured by a piercing alpine freshness and a vibrant salinity. The finish is incredibly persistent, leaving a clean, salty, and subtly spiced trail.
