Information about "Saxenburg Private Collection Chardonnay 2024"
Saxenburg Private Collection Chardonnay 2024 entices with its alluring bouquet of ripe apricot, tropical papaya, and luscious mango, harmoniously accented by the zest of fresh citrus peels and the richness of blood orange. On the palate, the wine reveals a full-bodied structure that masterfully balances elegant fruit with seamlessly integrated oak influences. Subtle layers evoke characteristics of biscotti and pastry notes. The interplay of fresh acidity, creamy tannins, and delightful saline as well as mineral hints in the finish offers a genuine sensation of indulgence.
At Saxenburg, the essence of winemaking is grounded in a clear philosophy: a wine reflects a place defined by the French as terroir. The deeper the understanding of this place, the finer the wines produced. Here, it's all about the wine itself—free from distractions of the estate, marketing, or labels. Exceptional wines stem from great fruit harvested at the right time. The secret begins in the vineyard; when the right grapes are chosen, and if the vineyard conditions are optimal, no tricks are needed in the cellar. The best treatment for wine is minimal interference.
Handpicked grapes for this exceptional Chardonnay were fermented and aged in French barriques, with 15% new 500-liter barrels and the remainder in previously used 300- and 225-liter casks.
