Vinification of the Chardonnay from Geils Sekt- und Weingut The careful selection of the grapes forms the basis for this house’s Grand Cru. In sun-exposed vineyards, Chardonnay grapes ripen on calcium-rich soils with optimal air circulation. Hand-harvesting takes place exclusively at perfect ripeness, ensuring that the grapes reach the winery intact and cool. The vinification begins with gentle pressing to preserve the delicate fruitiness. Subsequently, fermentation occurs partly in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to highlight the fresh fruit notes. A portion of the wine is aged in used barriques, imparting a subtle vanilla note and creamy texture. The maturation process involves regular batonage, where the fine lees are repeatedly worked back into the young wine. This method lends body and complexity without affecting the fresh character. After several months of aging, the careful assemblage determines the final aromatic profile. Finally, bottle aging elevates this unique Chardonnay, combining a strict quality profile with youthful charm.
