Mörstadt Nonnengarten Reserve Chardonnay trocken - Weingut Milch

A substantial Chardonnay with great depth, fine flinty character and a Burgundian stature. This Réserve from the Mörstädter Nonnengarten is one of the most distinctive Chardonnays from Weingut Milch – a concentrated interpretation of the historic site in Rheinhessen.

On the nose, the white wine presents itself cool and precise, with ripe apricot, a hint of banana and delicate notes of honeycomb, complemented by a distinctive, slightly reductive flinty aroma and fine roasted notes from the barrique.

On the palate, the Chardonnay is dense and full-bodied, with great suppleness, a fine creamy texture and a harmonious, precise acidity. The oak spice is clearly noticeable but beautifully integrated. The finish is long, deep and spicy mineral.

The grapes come from the Mörstädter Nonnengarten, the oldest family property of the Milch estate, which was cultivated even before the move to Monsheim in 1925. The sandy soils and Burgundian Chardonnay clones produce highly ripe, concentrated grapes.

After 48 hours on the skins, the grapes were gently pressed. The must then fermented spontaneously in first and second-fill barriques; the bottling was done without any filtration.

A substantial Chardonnay with great depth, fine minerality and considerable aging potential.
