ST #27 Barrique Chardonnay - Weinhaus Gebrüder Steffen

In the glass, the ST #27 Barrique Chardonnay from Steffen Brothers presents a brilliantly shimmering golden yellow color. Poured into a white wine glass, this white wine from the Old World shows wonderfully expressive aromas of Gallia melon, quince, pink grapefruit and Nashi pear, rounded off by brittle, roasted hazelnut and walnut contributed by aging in wooden barrels.

On the palate, the ST #27 Barrique Chardonnay from Weinhaus Gebrüder Steffen opens wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. On the tongue, this light-bodied white wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. Due to the balanced fruit acid, the ST #27 Barrique Chardonnay flatters with a velvety mouthfeel, without lacking freshness at the same time. In the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of the Moselle finally inspires with considerable length. Again, hints of grapefruit and apple appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the limestone-dominated soils join in.
