Vinification of the Weingut Wageck Chardonnay Geisberg The basis for the balanced Chardonnay Geisberg from the Pfalz is grapes from the Chardonnay variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Pfalz. Here the vines drive their roots deep into soils of limestone and marl. After harvest, the grapes are immediately brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.

Awards for the Geisberg Chardonnay from Wageck Falstaff Chardonnay Trophy 2024: 94+ points for 2021 “A touch of oak, notes of almond, lime peel. Opening soft and smooth, the mid-palate unfolds a strong dose of fine, powdery phenolics; it is very dense and astringent, yet nevertheless not everything is wrapped in opulence and enlivened by verve.” 16.08.2024 Ulrich Sautter
