2018 Chardonnay Private Reserve

Our Petersberg is a great spot in our Rheinhessen region because of its formation and location. For most people this is no longer a secret. Together we, Julia and Johannes, have experimented more and more with the Burgundies, but especially with the Chardonnay, over the past 15 years. We both share a passion to try out and discover new things. On our numerous trips and tastings through the world of wine, new impressions and ideas are constantly emerging. We wanted to create a Chardonnay that combines the best of everything and has never been seen before - our idea of ​​a Chardonnay Private Reserve.

The wine:
Dense, spicy and an enormous elegance. The salt from Petersberg. Strong fruit on the palate, the salt vibrates on the tongue and the wood flatters and is well integrated. Wine calls for a large glass, plenty of air to breathe and, above all, time.
