Our 58° Chardonnay grows on the Auggener Liesten, on south-southwest slopes that climb to a 58° gradient — one of the steepest worksites in the Markgräflerland. The combination of long sun hours and the calcareous loess-loam beneath the vines gives the wine its tension. Hand-harvested, fermented warm and on native yeasts after a few hours of skin contact, then raised 12 to 18 months in oak — a combination of barrique and larger cask — and bottled unfiltered and unfined. 95 Falstaff points and 3rd place at Meininger’s November 2024 tasting.

Tasting notes

A Chardonnay with warmth, depth, and balance.

In the glass, bright golden yellow. The nose combines delicate yeast notes, gentle butter and ripe peach with apricot, joined by a hint of vanilla and subtle sweetness.

On the palate, smooth with a medium-plus body and elegant structure. Brioche, pear and ripe nectarine sit alongside fine citrus freshness. The oak is subtly integrated and gives a creamy, harmonious texture.

The finish is long and soft with fine spice and great balance.

Limited to 1,300 bottles. 95 Falstaff points; 3rd place at Meininger Spätlese tasting, November 2024.
