Weingut Riffel Chardonnay Reserve Trocken 2021

13.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

2021 Chardonnay RÉSERVE dry – a feast for the senses! An exceptional wine with inner tension, brilliance, and complexity. A characterful wine, its aroma offers delicate brioche notes and subtle fruity hints of citrus, apple, melon, and a touch of walnut. Aging in oak brings out vanilla, caramel, and slightly smoky nuances, all underpinned by a vibrant tannic structure. Acidity, smoothness, and oak are perfectly interwoven, lending it a razor-sharp elegance. The finish is almost endless… It pairs beautifully with pan-fried fish in a white sauce or roasted seafood such as lobster or crab. It also complements mushroom dishes or oven-roasted poultry wonderfully. Pour it into a generous Burgundy glass, and it will reward you with a sensational taste experience!

The location
Chardonnay grapes grow in the Bubenstück and Osterberg vineyards on the Rochusberg hill near Bingen. This northernmost elevation in Rheinhessen is part of a large quartzite ridge that stretches from Frankfurt through the Rheingau and Taunus regions to the Hunsrück. Clay marl is the predominant soil type in these vineyards. Wines from these sites are full-bodied and creamy, with moderate acidity, pronounced fruitiness, and a powerful presence on the palate.

Vinification
The fully ripe grapes were harvested by hand at the end of September. For optimal balance and aroma concentration, they macerated on the skins for 12 hours. After pressing, the must fermented with native yeasts in barriques. To achieve optimal maturation, the wine was then aged on the lees for 12 months, with regular bâtonnage.

Good stock

At the confluence of the Rhine and the Nahe, lies Bingen am Rhein. This is home to Weingut Riffel. The winery has been organic since 2009 and biodynamic since 2012 is run by husband and wife team Carolin and Erik - the fourth generation to tend to the now 18 hectares of predominantly Riesling and Pinot Noir. As well as making an array of classic Trocken and Kabinett Rieslings, they are also lucky enough to have holdings in the Grand Cru sites of Scharlachberg, Kirchberg, Osterberg and Rosengarten. Here on the quartzite slopes that mark out this special location, the grapes find full maturity, displaying an array of intense tropical and stone fruit flavours, with a wonderfully energetic yet rounded acidity that frame these captivating and mineral- infused wines. Only 100% perfect grapes are used to allow for long aging on their lees. Ferments are with wild yeasts.
