Chardonnay

Loamy loess soils, south of Staufen on the Kaiserstuhl, are home to the vines for this incredibly delicious Chardonnay. The grapes are pressed directly and the juice ferments in used French wood. The aim is to let the terroir speak for itself and to give the wine as much substance as possible. Hence the use of aroma-neutral barrels and longer ageing on the full lees. It all pays off, you'll see! Apples, honeydew melon and very subtle herbal aromas combine with a mysterious flint accent to create a beguiling fragrance. Wonderfully elegant, almost slender, it glides through the palate with great finesse. The finish is initially taut, but then the wine unpacks a lot of melting before ending wonderfully juicy, delicately salty and unexpectedly clear to the point. Alex and Christoph have unpacked all their experience from Burgundy here, with success! This is a really silky fine wine! Hossa!
