Yield reduction for even more expression: Bechtheim Chardonnay village wine
The grapes for the Dreissigacker Bechtheim Chardonnay come from the biodynamically cultivated Stein vineyard in Bechtheim. To improve quality, the grapes are halved as early as early summer, so that the vine's energy concentrates on a smaller quantity. Harvesting is consistently done by hand. Afterwards, the grapes are carefully placed in small individual containers, transferred to larger boxes at the winery, and gently pressed with the feet. This allows the juice to macerate with the skins for several hours before gentle pressing in several stages.
»Every vintage offers the pure, subtly smoky pleasure of high-quality white wine.«
The Bechtheim Chardonnay "Ortswein" – long-aged for perfect harmony
Just as carefully as in the vineyard, work in the cellar is also carried out with great mindfulness. The gentle processing of the grapes is paramount. The grapes are moved exclusively by gravity – pumps are deliberately avoided to prevent stressing the wine. The pre-clarification of the Bechtheim Chardonnay occurs through short sedimentation – optimal conditions for natural yeasts and subsequent spontaneous fermentation. The wine is aged 100% in wood – in new and twice-used 500-liter tonneaux barrels. The wine rests for 1.5 years on the full lees and then two months on the fine lees. This long maturation period develops an exceptional balance between power, structure, and elegance, while the typical Chardonnay aromas remain clearly recognizable. With its spicy notes, full-bodied yet harmonious, the Bechtheim Chardonnay 2022 pairs excellently with a Red Thai Noodle Soup. The wine's fine creaminess combines perfectly with the dish's slight spiciness and aromatics.
