Chardonnay "linse" 2022

Ladies and gents, this wine is an absolute show stopper. Amazingly good. If there was ever a wine for a special event where you need it to deliver, this would be one of them.

100% Chardonnay biodynamically cultivated from the 'Linse' vineyard site which is sandstone/marl and loess in the subsoil ensure a salty and chalky aroma in the wine. Its considered Erste Lage (Premier Cru) on 35 year-old vines.

The grapes were hand-harvested and directly pressed, spontaneous fermentation and élevage in 500L neutral tonneau for 15 month.

Stylistically this would be between a concentrated Burgundy (Top Chablis?) and toned Jura. A Chardo that grabs the palate,  delivering immense concentration and power with only 12.5% abv. Granny smith and grapefruit peel, smoky minerality, salty, with good Grip. Pure and pithy, with perfect acidity and ingenious one minerality.

A very tiny allocation had made it to the UK.
