Chardonnay Monsheim auf dem Wingertsberg trocken - Weingut Milch

An expressive, fruit-forward and mineral Chardonnay with great clarity and a Burgundian signature. The tiny lieu-dit “Auf dem Wingertsberg”, one of the oldest vineyard sites in Monsheim, Rheinhessen, is presented here in a particularly fresh and precise interpretation.

On the nose, the wine is open and multifaceted, with yellow apple, pear, a hint of lemon zest and white flowers, complemented by delicate almond notes and subtle roasted aromas from the barrique.

On the palate, the Chardonnay white wine is clear and structured, with fine fruit, distinctive minerality and a lively, beautifully integrated acidity. The finish is long, cool and precise.

The lieu-dit “Auf dem Wingertsberg” is located in the single vineyard site Monsheimer Silberberg and is among the oldest documented vineyard sites in the region. In 2017, Burgundian Chardonnay clones were replanted here on limestone-rich clay soils. The small berries give this wine its concentrated character.

After 48 hours of maceration, the grapes were gently pressed. The must was then fermented spontaneously in first- and second-fill barriques; the wine was bottled without any filtration.

An elegant, fruit-forward and mineral Rheinhessen Chardonnay with a Burgundian structure, great freshness and considerable ageing potential.
