Product Description:
Brilliant and lively, the wine presents itself in a bright golden hue with delicate green reflections and fine, persistent perlage. The small, delicate bubbles form an alluring mousseux that dances vibrantly on the surface. On the nose, a complex aromatic interplay of lemon zest, white grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, and white flowers unfolds. Gradually, fine notes of toasted almonds and subtle spices emerge. On the palate, the wine is soft yet energetic, with juicy aromas of citrus fruits, apricot, and pear. The rich, creamy mid-palate lends it additional complexity, while the lively acidity carries the flavors into the clean, mineral-driven, and remarkably long finish.

Vinifikation The 2020 vintage was characterized by moderate conditions with cool nights and mild days. This allowed Chardonnay grapes to be harvested with great freshness, pronounced natural acidity, and high concentration. The grapes were hand-picked and gently pressed. Only the high-quality free-run juice (Cuvée) was used for fermentation. Fermentation took place in a combination of terracotta amphorae, Clayver ceramic vessels, neutral French 205-liter oak barrels, and Austrian fuders. The different vessels lent additional structure and aromatic depth to the wine without obscuring its natural tension and elegance. Subsequently, the wine matured for four months on its fine lees in the respective vessels before being blended into the Cuvée and bottled for traditional secondary fermentation on June 28, 2020. This was followed by a five-year aging on lees in the bottle, which provided additional depth, complexity, and longevity. Disgorgement took place on July 11, 2025. The wine was bottled without dosage to express its purity and terroir character unadulterated.
