Wasenhaus 'Filzen' Chardonnay Magnum 2023 [1.5L]

Wasenhaus 'Filzen' Chardonnay Magnum 2023 [1.5L]From the winemakers: "A single vineyard Chardonnay from steep slopes, grown on limestone clay soil in Kirchhofen. Bunches got pressed as whole clusters, fermented in used French oak barrels and aged for one year on the full lees in barrel and another half year in stainless steel on its entire lees."

5 hectares of vines

I personally love this rustic yet decidedly Californian vibe

a bitter cold vintage almost shuttered both appellations

Purchased upon release from importer and stored in a professional temperature controlled facility

Dark berry fruit

chiefly by the fact that they were first to plant and make wines from Tannat

quaffable summer juice that few would be mad at

It can function as easy-drinking glou-glou but there are more earthy layers and vigor than most quaffers

Sourced from several different parcels at the Roc Breïa property

Free SO2 at bottling: 15ppm
