Product Description:
This Chardonnay is produced with the greatest care and precision. The grapes are hand-picked and strictly selected. Only the first 50% of the gentle free-run juice – the highest quality must – is used. After natural sedimentation, fermentation takes place, with 90% of the wine aged in new French oak barrels and 10% in a special egg-shaped Nomblot tank. The wine then matures on the gross lees for twelve months, which gives it additional structure and depth. Before bottling, a careful barrel selection is carried out – only the best lots are finally blended as "Quartz Stone".

Vinifikation This Chardonnay comes from the best sites with quartz-rich, skeletal soils. It is precisely this mineral structure that shapes its character and gives it its unmistakable identity. The vintage was marked by particular resilience: a mild, dry winter and spring led to significantly drier soils at the beginning of the growing season. As a result, bud break and flowering occurred earlier than usual—everything pointed to an early harvest. At the same time, 2024 was one of the smallest Chardonnay harvests in recent years—with correspondingly concentrated quality. In the glass, the "Quartz Stone Chardonnay" reveals a rich, complex aromatic profile. We discover citrus fruits, white peach, fine spice notes, and a hint of buttery toast. On the palate, lime, lemon, green apple, and juicy stone fruit unfold, carried by a subtle minerality on the mid-palate influenced by the quartz soil. The wine concludes with a long, elegant, and harmonious finish.
