An elegant, appealing wine with a fine creaminess, versatile with fish and light meats. Juicy and charming with delicate minerality – a stylish companion for many occasions.
Tasting Notes
"Bright golden yellow with silver reflections. The nose reveals distinct aromas of Golden Delicious apple, exotic fruit, and mineral notes. On the palate juicy and elegant with delicate tropical fruit, tight structure, and a saline-mineral finish. Juicy and inviting – a versatile companion."
Food Pairing
The Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with fish, light meats, and delicate vegetables like asparagus. Creamy pasta or mild cheeses also highlight its elegant character.
Recipe tip: Pan-seared chicken breast with lemon risotto and green asparagus – a light dish with freshness and finesse.
Serving suggestion: Serve well chilled at 10–12 °C, ideally in a large white wine glass (Burgundy style) to fully showcase its fine aromatics.

Harvest and Maturing
After selective hand harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. A short maceration period of a few hours is followed by a slow and gentle pressing. The resulting fresh must is naturally clarified through sedimentation. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts in both large and small oak barrels. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation follows, along with maturation on the full lees until spring (March). In spring, the young wine is clarified/filtered and prepared for bottling.
