2023 Chardonnay Reserve Wagner Stempel Bio Toskana black tea and cherries

black tea and cherries

Showing even more complexity and length than the regular bottling

the wine seems fuller now than when I first saw it

The Riesling Réserve perpétuelle is a continuous cuvée of Riesling base wines over 5 vintages that rests on the yeast without the addition of sulphur and matures in the bottle for another 4 years after the second fermentation

as I have the feeling it's going to develop and grow in bottle

2023 Chardonnay Reserve Wagner Stempel Bio Toskana black tea and cherriesSuckling 94, Still very youthful with a fascinating interplay of mirabelle fruit and leesy complexity with notes of fresh chestnuts. Very smoky palate with a wonderful interplay of restrained creaminess, fine tannins and a discrete but animating acidity. Very long finish. From the Oberen Horn site with porphyry volcanic soil, that some think deserves to be a GG site. Matured in used 600 liter oak casks. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now,
