Chardonnay C - Weingut Josef Leitz

The elegant Chardonnay C from Weingut Josef Leitz shimmers a bright golden yellow in the glass. Poured into a white wine glass, this Old World white wine offers wonderfully expressive aromas of pear, peach and honeydew melon, rounded off by further fruity nuances contributed by its maturation in wooden barrels.

The Weingut Josef Leitz Chardonnay C presents itself to the wine lover as delightfully dry. This white wine is never coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, this well-balanced white wine is characterized by an exceedingly creamy texture. Thanks to its pronounced acidity, Chardonnay C reveals itself on the palate as wonderfully fresh and lively. The finish of this youthful white wine from the Rheingau region ultimately impresses with a remarkable length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes from the loess and limestone dominated soils.

Vinification of Chardonnay C from Weingut Josef Leitz

The basis for the balanced Chardonnay C from the Rheingau is grapes of the Chardonnay variety. In the Rheingau, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone and loess soils. After being hand-picked, the grapes are swiftly brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Chardonnay C is aged for several more months in oak barrels.
