Faible für Weißer Burgunder & Chardonnay trocken - Weingut Faubel

The white wine Faible für Weißer Burgunder & Chardonnay trocken - Weingut Faubel displays a bright straw yellow in the glass with delicate, silvery reflections. The light breaks crystal-clear in the glass, while the flowing legs suggest an elegant density. As soon as the glass is swirled, a fine fragrance rises, reminiscent of juicy pineapple, ripe quince and delicate white blossoms. Fresh notes of lemongrass add a lively, citrusy accent and lend the cuvée an invigorating tension.

The nose unfolds a multifaceted interplay of aromas:

• exotic pineapple with a subtle sweetness
• ripe quince with a slightly tart spiciness
• white blossoms with floral elegance
• fresh lemongrass with citrus clarity

On the palate, the wine flows silky and smooth, with a texture that is creamy yet firmly structured. The Pinot Blanc contributes fullness, smoothness and a delicate nuttiness, while the Chardonnay brings structure, substance and precise freshness. The acidity is brilliantly integrated, clear and lively without any sharpness, carrying the aromas well into the long finish. The aftertaste once again reveals pineapple, quince and a hint of lemon zest, accompanied by a subtle, mineral-like saltiness.

This cuvée of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc comes from the Palatinate, one of Germany’s most dynamic wine-growing regions. Here, Weingut Faubel interprets a modern, fruit-driven white wine with a clear sense of direction and elegant length. The combination of limestone-rich and loess soils lends the wine tension, juiciness and invigorating freshness.

1. Grape varieties: Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc as a harmonious cuvée
2. Origin: Palatinate, selected vineyards around Maikammer
3. Soils: limestone and loess for finesse and grip
4. Style: dry, smooth, fruit-driven, with a long finish

The structure is balanced, with medium body, clear definition and finely balanced acidity. Tannins are barely perceptible, appearing more as delicate phenolics that give the cuvée backbone and bite. The wine is both playful and serious, playful in its fruit character and poised in its structure.

Production of Faible für Weißer Burgunder & Chardonnay trocken - Weingut Faubel

The grapes for Faible für Weißer Burgunder & Chardonnay trocken - Weingut Faubel come from selected vineyards in the Palatinate, nestled among gentle hills and the protective backdrop of the Palatinate Forest. The climate is characterized by abundant sunshine, warm days and cooler nights, allowing the grapes to develop both aromatic richness and freshness. Limestone in the subsoil gives the wines firmness and clarity, while loess components provide juiciness and volume.

The grapes are carefully harvested by hand. This ensures that only fully ripe, aromatic berries reach the press. Strict selection begins in the vineyard so that every grape possesses the desired ripeness and aromatic depth. Hand harvesting allows the fruit to be handled gently; the berries remain intact and bring their full aroma into the cellar.

In the cellar, Weingut Faubel relies on gentle processing. The grapes are quickly sent for soft pressing to obtain clear, pure musts. Fermentation takes place under temperature-controlled conditions, allowing the fruity and floral aromas of pineapple, quince and white blossoms to emerge distinctly. The wine is matured mainly in stainless-steel tanks, keeping the focus firmly on freshness, varietal character and precision.

Part of the cuvée is often given additional time on the fine lees, lending the wine extra creaminess, smoothness and depth. This lees ageing creates the characteristic, supple mouthfeel and supports the long finish. The winemaker’s style is defined by precision, elegance and a fine sense of balance. The wine shows power without heaviness, and fullness without excess breadth.

Before bottling, the Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc are blended with great sensitivity. Each batch contributes its own strengths, from which the cellar master creates a harmonious whole. The screw cap preserves freshness and aromatic stability, delighting wine lovers for several years.
