The Neustadt "V" Chardonnay grows on shell limestone soil and combines power with elegance. It captivates with aromas of yellow fruits, nuts, and herbs, complemented by an elegant minerality and a juicy, balanced texture. A modern, fruit-forward wine with a subtle use of oak – fresh, mineral, and unforgettable!
2024: James Suckling: 94/100 "Unoaked chardonnay can be pretty boring, but this has terrific energy and vitality, the tension between restrained lees creaminess and mineral freshness so exciting. Excellent interplay between chalky minerality and yellow apples on the focused, medium-bodied palate. The first vintage of this wine."
Ripe peaches and pineapple, creamy texture, lively acidity
A nearly hot March with very early bud break, followed by a cold and very changeable April and an unusually nasty May with a high risk of late frost. Everything hangs in the balance – with a bit of luck, we'll be spared. The summer is a bit like it used to be, with sufficient, almost abundant rain without any major heat waves. The start to autumn is very warm – almost sweltering at night. The harvest begins somewhat hesitantly but quickly picks up speed, ending in October (October 5th) for the first time in a long time.
