Wine Description for Chardonnay 2024 from Haardt Hills
- Colour & Appearance
- Radiant golden yellow in the glass, clear and luminous – a depth of colour that promises substance.
- Nose
- Expressive and multi-layered: yellow fruits dominate, accompanied by fresh grapes and a fascinating spicy and mineral component. The aromatics recall ripe mirabelle plums and pears, underscored by a delicate herbal note.
- Palate
- Dense and juicy in texture, yet pleasantly dry on the palate. The Chardonnay displays structure and presence without being heavy. The fruit remains present whilst the spicy note builds tension.
- Finish
- The spicy persistence is remarkably enduring and invites another encounter – a wine that calls for accompaniment.
- Terroir & Origin
- From the Pfalz, one of Germany’s warmest wine regions, this Chardonnay comes from Haardt Hills. The mineral character suggests calcareous soils that lend the variety structure and depth.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Pure Chardonnay, with only 0.5% vol. alcohol – a remarkable particularity. Despite the minimal alcohol content, the wine displays astonishing density and complexity, suggesting careful vinification and possibly gentle dealcoholisation.
- Food Pairing Recommendations
- Made for hearty and piquant dishes: try it with smoked trout fillet, goat’s cheese with honey, tarte flambée or mushroom risotto. Also an exciting combination with Asian dishes with a spicy note – such as Thai curry or sushi.
- Special Features
- An alcohol-free Chardonnay that doesn’t attempt to pretend to be something else, but confidently presents its own character. Ideal for those who wish to abstain from alcohol without forgoing wine enjoyment. The 2024 vintage displays the freshness and vibrancy of a young wine.
