Again, hints of nashi pear and cherry blossom show. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Ziereisen Hard Chardonnay unfiltered

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Chardonnay. Only impeccable grapes were harvested for this exceptionally balanced varietal wine from Ziereisen.

Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Then fermentation takes place in large wood at controlled temperatures. After the completion of fermentation, the Hard Chardonnay is aged unfiltered for several months in oak barrels.
