ORGANIC/BIODYNAMIC
WINE ENTHUSIAST - 90 POINTS This sports a subtle macadamia nut note that extends to midpalate, where it is swept away by the mix of orchard fruit and blossom. It is slightly creamy in texture for added charm. — Aleks Zecevic
The Chardonnay Reserve is a selection from vines at least 20 years old from the Laubenheim district, known for its limestone and loess.
The grapes are hand harvested and then fermented in three- to five-year-old used tonneaux. The wine matures on the fine lees into May before bottling.
To rich hues in the glass, the nose opens with the smoky reveal of reduction. Given space to develop, the wine unfurls a range of yellow fruit, initially shy, and redolent of apple, quince, corn as well as salted popcorn. A subtle barrel influence kicks off the aromatics, soon marked with fresh tobacco and mild culinary herbs. Upon first sip, the wine glides silkily across the palate, flanked by beautifully integrated oak. The filigreed texture and fine creaminess are a pure sensory delight. ABV: 12.5%
