Chardonnay Zellertal - Weingut Schwedhelm

The vineyards for Schwedhelm's Chardonnay Zellertal lie on the calcareous soils of the Zellertal valley, where clay and massive limestone impart the wine's distinctive minerality and cool style. The aim of the winemaking process is to harmoniously combine freshness and structure, which is why the wine is fermented partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels, and aged on the lees. This process gives it depth, creaminess, and a fine texture without compromising its precise structure. Aromatically, it displays notes of yellow apple and citrus fruits, complemented by subtle nutty and floral hints, supported by vibrant acidity and chalky minerality with an elegant, lingering finish.
