Westhofener Chardonnay trocken 2017 - Dreissigacker

The Westhofener Chardonnay by Dreissigacker comes into the glass with a wonderful golden yellow colour and reveals a sensationally fresh and fruity bouquet to the nose. Yellow stone fruits like mirabelles and apricots, ripe pears as well as exotic fruits like mango and pineapple determine the first nose. Elegant herbal notes of rosemary and some cinnamon and orange peel complete the bouquet. The fragrance profile of the Westhofener Chardonnays is rounded off by Dreissigacker with elegant nutty and slightly buttery notes and a hint of brioche.

On the palate, the Dreissigacker Westhofener Chardonnay delivers a clear, fine juicy attack. Dense, powerful, quite compact and complex in body, this Chardonnay glides over the tongue. The palate is filled with a precise, tight structure with a melt-in-the-mouth and an almost exotic taste of candied stone fruit and honeydew melon with a palatable minerality, again herbs and delicate vanilla notes. The Dreissigacker Westhofener Chardonnay flows into an unbelievably long finish, which reveals a wonderful interplay of acidity, freshness and creamy fullness, persisting and intense as well as deep and tenderly melting again.
