Wohlgemuth-Schnürr · Gundersheim, Rheinhessen · Germany
Dry white wine · Chardonnay · 75 cl
Schnürr Morstein Chardonnay comes from the Westhofener Morstein, one of Rheinhessen's most celebrated vineyards, where massive limestone gives wines with real minerality and fresh acidity. Chardonnay is the big winner of Rheinhessen's warming climate, and this barrel-fermented bottling has become the estate's secret star. Selected for Central Wines by Master Sommelier Adam Michocki.
Tasting note
Creamy and soft, with plenty of richness and juicy fullness: ripe yellow fruit, a touch of vanilla and nuts, held together by limestone freshness.
Pair with
Roast chicken, veal, salmon and white fish in butter sauces, and creamy pasta.
