The Möhr-Niggli / Gubler Chardonnay 2021 presents itself as cool, precise, and restrained on the nose – with subtle reduction, nutty hints, a touch of hay, and delicate notes of ripe quince and yellow pear. This is complemented by accurate, lightly waxy aromas, fine exotic nuances, a hint of brioche, and spicy touches reminiscent of cloves. The yeasty-mineral style is clearly in the foreground, giving the wine depth and character.


On the palate, it is taut and straightforward, supported by lively acidity and saline tension. The structure is lean to sinewy, yet powerful and balanced. The subtle oak aromas are finely integrated, leading to a full, creamy, and long finish. The wine shows power, depth, and impressive inner calm. Compared to warmer vintages, the 2021 reveals more freshness, precision, and expression in the mineral spectrum. Extended aging on the lees has given it a smooth texture and aromatic complexity without compromising clarity and definition.


A layered, distinctive Chardonnay from Maienfeld with excellent aging potential of at least 10 years.
