Information about "Saxenburg Private Collection Chardonnay 2023"
Saxenburg Private Collection Chardonnay 2023 captivates with a bouquet of ripe apricot, papaya, and mango, harmonized by fresh citrus peels and blood orange notes. On the palate, it reveals a sumptuous balance of elegant fruit and seamlessly integrated oak. Layered undertones of biscotti and pastry add depth, while its vibrant acidity, creamy tannins, and delightful saline and mineral nuances create a truly exquisite finish.
At Saxenburg, winemaking is guided by a simple philosophy: a wine embodies a place, or what the French call terroir. The better one understands this designation, the greater the potential for exceptional wines. Here, the focus lies solely on the wine, not the estate, marketing, or label. Great wines necessitate great fruit, and this is where the secret begins in the vineyard. At Saxenburg, it is said that if you choose the right grape varieties and the vineyard is optimal, no tricks are needed in the cellar. The best treatment for wine is none.
Handpicked grapes for this premium Chardonnay underwent fermentation and aging in French barriques, with 15% new 500-liter barrels and the remainder in previously used 300- and 225-liter barrels.
