Chardonnay Réserve

The bouquet reveals notes of yellow fruits such as mirabelle plum and vineyard peach, along with citrus fruits that already hint at an exciting acidity structure on the nose. These elements create a juicy, sparkling opening.
The extended lees aging is elegantly expressed through nutty aromas, while vanilla and brioche notes are seamlessly integrated.
On the palate, the mousse creates a lively and voluminous sensation, reminiscent of fresh grapefruit on the finish. A touch of minerality lingers in the aftertaste.
Our limestone-rich soils in Rheinhessen give this sparkling wine its vibrant complexity and powerful structure.

Vintage 2015

There is hardly anything left to say about the 2015 vintage — almost every major wine region in the world has hailed it as outstanding, and the same is true for our home region, the beautiful Wonnegau. The 2015 vintage will be remembered as one of the best of the last few decades.

When we recently tasted the first base sparkling wines from 2015 after more than eight years of lees aging, we were speechless. We already knew this vintage was exceptional, but we hadn’t expected such spicy sparkling wines with ripe fruit and beautifully integrated acidity.

While the cooler 2014 vintage gave us mineral-driven, lean, crisp, and focused sparkling wines, the 2015s offer opulent, ripe fruit combined with surprising balance and finesse.

This vintage delivered sparkling wines that unite concentration and aromatic complexity. They are powerful and impressive on the palate. 2015 offers creaminess, tension, depth, and smoothness — a rare combination of balanced acidity, high extract, and remarkable inner density that makes the sparkling wines of this year so uniquely high in quality.
