Chardonnay Kalvarienberg 2021
To the east of Schrattenthal lies the granite-dominated Calvary, on whose summit the crucifixion of Jesus is depicted. Our vineyard slopes west towards the village and has a loess top with a correspondingly high clay content. The Chardonnay feels very well on this rather cooler location. We have planted this vineyard with French Chardonnay vines from massive selection and harvest year after year highly ripe grapes.
- Delicately scented with fresh pineapple and sponge cake, fine spicy oak. Needs some time in the glass, but then echoes of ripe exotic fruits, some banana, dense fruit and mineral spice, very fine animating acid, delicate woody aromas recognizable, juicy depth and great fresh and harmonious finish.
- deal companion to fish and shellfish, strong pasta dishes – even with heavy sauces – as well as noble offal such as calf’s liver, veal kidneys or Bries.
