Color
Sparkling golden yellow.
Nose
The 2019 Chardonnay "R" is a complex and expressive wine, which presents itself freshly opened still somewhat closed. After sufficient oxygen contact, distinct fruit aromas penetrate the nose, reminiscent of ripe pineapple, honeydew melon and baby banana, accompanied by equally charming notes reminiscent of white nougat, brittle and lavender flowers. The preceding wood ageing expresses itself in the form of toasted notes and vanilla and is accompanied by a multilayered and profound minerality.
Palate
Its opulent yellow fruit combines with vibrant freshness on the tongue. Clear wood spice gives it a piquant tannin structure and fine distinction. A spectacular Chardonnay, which is unparalleled in Germany. Power, structure and finesse paired with a lot of exoticism, truly a wonderful wine.
If you want to enjoy it at this point, you should decant it so that it can develop its Burgundian finesse and power sufficiently.
