Markus Altenburg Chardonnay "Vom Kalk" 2025

This is a wine for lovers of minerality! Crunchy aromas of chalk, dried pear and lemon balm. Clean, with no funk. Nice texure on the palate, slightly weighty but supported by vibrant acidity. Nice accent of white pepper on the long finish. Chardonnay for folks who say they hate Chardonnay. 

Dry-farmed, certified organic viticulture, with biodynamic practices. Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed, then go to direct press. Spontaneously fermented in concrete eggs and large oak barrels. Aged for 8 months in medium and large used oak barrels before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
