Product information "Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chardonnay 2024"
The Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chardonnay is a beautifully wooded white wine with lush nuances of taste and a wonderful elegance. The nose sniffs seductive aromas of fragrant citrus blossoms, tangy lime and ripe pears, paired with a hint of vanilla on the palate. Great length and consistent minerality pamper you with a fresh and well-balanced acidity. An elegant and complex drop with a perfectly integrated oak wood note!

After harvesting, the grapes were pressed with great care after extensive contact with the skin, using only the free flowing juice for further production. After a 24-hour resting phase, the juice was mixed with selected yeasts and the following day, at a cool-regulated temperature, it was filled into French oak barrels for fermentation. After fermentation, the wine matured for a further 8 months in barrels, of which 60% was first-fermented new wood and 40% second and third-fermented 400 litres of oak barrels.

Feine Barriqueprägung
mittelgelbe klare Farbe, Feine frische Chardonnaynase mit feiner Barriqueprägung. Feiner saftiger dichter Chardonnay mit feiner Säure dazu und schöner Eleganz. Zeigt Würze und Fruchtaromen von Aprikose und Pfirsich. Barrique gut integriert, zeigt aber auch Gerbstoffe und Struktur. Mir fehlt noch ein Tick Säure dazu. Schmelz und Dichte ist vorhanden.
