Descrizione

The Belasy - Chardonnay Riserva Alto Adige DOC - Schloss Englar is born in the heart of the Dolomites, in an area renowned for its excellent wine-growing quality. Here, the cool climate, characterized by significant temperature swings and soil composed of porphyry and calcareous marl, allows the Chardonnay grapes to develop intense aromas and perfect acidity.

The grape variety, cultivated with artisanal care, is hand-harvested to preserve the integrity of the berries. The winemaking involves controlled fermentation in steel, followed by prolonged aging in wooden barrels, which gives structure and complexity to the wine. The long maturation period brings out a broad bouquet, intertwining aromas of ripe fruit, such as golden apple and pear, with light notes of vanilla, butter, and a delicate touch of toast.

On the palate, it is enveloping and fresh, with a pleasant minerality that reflects the Alto Adige territory. This Chardonnay pairs magnificently with baked fish dishes, white meats, and soft cheeses, enhancing every course with its refined elegance. An excellence of Alto Adige that expresses the typicality and enological precision of Schloss Englar.

Winery history

The Castel/Schloss Englar complex is a medieval settlement first mentioned in documents from 1256; the present late‑Gothic building developed from the 15th century and the property has been linked for centuries to the Counts Khuen‑Belasi. In recent decades the manor has been restored and also converted for hospitality use; wine production was revived and, since 2014, winemaking has again been carried out and bottled on site.

Production philosophy

The winery focuses on estate-grown grapes, organic vineyard management and the preservation of biodiversity. In the cellar, careful winemaking practices are preferred to produce clean wines characteristic of the area, with extended aging in wood and respect for maturation on the lees when necessary.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in San Michele di Appiano, the estate stands on a south-facing terraced hill with an almost Mediterranean influence. The area benefits from ample sunshine and soils well suited to alpine and international varieties.

Awards and recognitions

Wine ratings reported by specialist magazines, with scores for various reserve wines reaching up to around 93/100 for labels such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir Reserve; numerous labels reviewed with scores in the 91–93/100 range.
