Monsheim Im Blauarsch Reserve Chardonnay trocken - Weingut Milch

A substantial, tightly woven Chardonnay with great fullness, elegant fruit and a Burgundian stature. The Réserve from the lieu dit "Im Blauarsch" is the top Chardonnay from this site by Weingut Milch – a concentrated, barrique-influenced interpretation of the limestone-rich clay soil of the Monsheimer Silberberg.

On the nose, the wine presents warm and multifaceted, with ripe yellow stone fruit, a hint of exotic notes, delicate almond and nut nuances and a fine, well-integrated barrique spice.

On the palate, the Chardonnay white wine shows itself to be very full-bodied and creamy, with great melt-in-the-mouth quality, fine fruit and a harmonious, lively acidity. The wood spice is present but elegantly integrated – never dominant. The finish is long, warm and of spicy depth.

The lieu dit "Im Blauarsch" is located in the single vineyard site Monsheimer Silberberg and takes its name from the characteristic blue shimmer of the limestone-rich clay soil (place name "Blauacker"). For the Réserve, only the most fully ripe, perfectly healthy grapes of each vintage are selected.

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

A powerful Chardonnay wine from Rheinhessen with fine fruit, great length and considerable aging potential.
