Chardonnay trocken - Käfer

The Chardonnay from Käfer in Sicily shows a bright, golden yellow color in the swirled glass. The first nose of the Chardonnay is flattering with nuances of bananas, apricots and lemons. The fruity components of the bouquet are joined by even more fruity, balsamic nuances.

On the palate, the Chardonnay from Käfer starts off wonderfully aromatic, fruity and balanced, and despite its dry taste profile, this white wine delights with a delicate melt and finely woven residual sweetness. The texture of this balanced white wine is wonderfully light on the palate. The moderate fruit acidity gives the Chardonnay a velvety mouthfeel without sacrificing any of its juicy liveliness. The finish of this white wine from the wine-growing region of Sicily impresses with a beautiful aftertaste.

Vinification of Käfer Chardonnay

The basis for the balanced Chardonnay from Sicily are grapes from the Chardonnay grape variety. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.
