2023 Steingruble Chardonnay Reserve QW, dry, 13% vol., Leon Gold ORGANIC

DE - ECO 022. A rich golden yellow, this Chardonnay Reserve flows into the large glass and unfolds with aeration. Mild spice notes, mace, white pepper, and verbena emerge beneath the slight reduction. This is followed by ripe, yellow fruit, mirabelle plum, mellow yellow stone fruit, and a hint of mandarin orange. On the palate, it`s medium-bodied with transparent, clear fruit and good grip, accompanied by an invigorating, tart phenolic acidity. Aging in tonneaux lends it its structure, combining fruit, texture, and excitement in a rapid, easy-drinking flow. PURISTIC - STRAIGHTFORWARD - HANDCRAFTED
