Chardonnay loves barren, chalky soils, which Johannes Gröhl presents to us here in an expressive way:

On the nose, we immediately have a slightly reductive note, accompanied by yellow fruits such as pear and quince and a fine nutty aroma. On the palate, we sense the soil profile: very mineral, "iodiney" with sensational acidity, great structure and powerful brilliance. The Chardonnay also remains beautifully juicy and precise on the finish, with moderate alcohol - it's fun!

The wine needs air! Please use large glasses and decant if you like.
