Grape: Chenin Blanc

the variety ripens so fully here that we decided that it required the added fresh acidity that comes from heirloom clone Chardonnay

Bottles produced: 1200 Bottles

making for a wine of real complexity

2023 Weingut Wasenhaus Filzen Chardonnay Baden, Germany Baron Thenard Grape: Chenin BlancA Chardonnay from steep slopes, western orientated, worked mainly manual and grown on limestone clay soil in Kirchhofen. Bunches got pressed as whole clusters, fermented in 1 600L damy barrel. Aged for one year on the full lees in barrel and another half year in stainless steel on its entire lees. This is a younger german clone with a bit more aromatics thus is a fresher style compared to Hohlen. vB
