2023 Chardonnay – Powerful Elegance from Kaiserstuhl
With the 2023 Chardonnay dry, the GLATT winery presents a white wine that combines the international class of this grape variety with the unique character of Baden. Grown on the nutrient-rich volcanic weathered soils of the Kaiserstuhl, this Chardonnay displays impressive depth and lively minerality that clearly sets it apart from classic overseas Chardonnays.
Volcanic Rock Meets Ripe Fruit
The 2023 vintage benefited from abundant sunshine, which gave the wine its full-bodied aroma. Weingut GLATT places great importance on precise vinification to preserve the varietal creaminess without losing the necessary freshness. A modern classic for lovers of structured white wines.
The Tasting Profile:
Aromatics: The nose unfolds an inviting bouquet of exotic fruits such as pineapple and mango, complemented by delicate notes of yellow apple and a hint of citrus blossom.
On the Palate: Powerful and smooth with an elegant texture. The mineral vein of the volcanic rock provides an exciting backbone and harmonious freshness.
Finish: Long-lasting and clear, with a subtle nutty aftertaste in the finish.
The Perfect Food Companion:
This Chardonnay is a versatile partner for sophisticated dishes:
Seafood: Excellent with grilled king prawns or scallops in butter sauce.
White Meat: Pairs ideally with veal saltimbocca or roasted corn-fed chicken.
Vegetarian: A delight with pumpkin risotto or pasta with a rich cheese-cream sauce.
