Chardonnay Monsheim Im Blauarsch trocken - Weingut Milch

An expressive Chardonnay with ripe fruit, harmonious acidity and noticeable wood spice. The lieu-dit "Im Blauarsch" takes its name from the blue-shimmering clay soil of the Monsheimer Silberberg, a geological feature that gives this vineyard its distinctive signature.

On the nose, the wine is open and opulent, with ripe peach fruit, a hint of banana and yellow apple, complemented by pronounced vanilla and oak spice from the barrique.

On the palate, the Chardonnay is juicy and fruit-forward, with great suppleness, beautifully integrated acidity and a strong, well-integrated oak note. The finish is long, warm and spicy.

The lieu-dit "Im Blauarsch" is located in the Monsheimer Silberberg single vineyard. Its name is derived from "Blauacker" and refers to the characteristic blue shimmer of the limestone-rich clay soil, which becomes visible after plowing. 

After 24 hours on the skins, the grapes were gently pressed. The must was then fermented spontaneously in older barriques (225 liters), an aging process that imparts pronounced spice to the wine without overwhelming its aromatics.

A powerful, oak-aged Chardonnay from Rheinhessen with full-bodied fruit, harmonious acidity and considerable aging potential.
