Variety: Chardonnay | Harvest: The grapes were hand-picked and sorted at the end of September. Aging: Batonnage to impart fullness and power.
DESCRIPTION:
It shines golden yellow in the glass, initially revealing very classic nuances. Citrus hints are replaced by nutty, bready notes. On the palate, it is very ripe and velvety, slightly mineral with a drive. Not at all opulent, with a long finish. (Tasting note from the winery)

DESCRIPTION:
It presents itself in a dark ruby garnet with deep violet hues. Fruity, with intense aromas of dark berries and ripe cherries, subtly underscored with a hint of menthol and delicate notes of tobacco, vanilla, fine spices, and a mineral touch. On the palate, it is juicy with a hint of nougat in the finish, substantial and dense with soft tannins.

Deep dark with violet highlights on the rim. Dark fruit on the nose: cherry, sour cherry, and fine roasted aromas invite the first sip. On the palate, it is velvety and soft, accompanied by a ripe tannin structure and again a lot of fruit that remains present for a long time. A complex, seductive Zweigelt.
