Oeko-Weingut Zang, Chardonnay, "Kapellenstueck", organic wine, white, 2021

Chardonnay, the great white grape variety of Burgundy, feels very comfortable on the limestone soils in the Kapellenstück vineyard near Nordheim am Main, and the warmer climate also contributes to this. This is how the excellent white organic wine Oeko-Weingut Zang Chardonnay “Kapellenberg” was created.

Organic wine profile

• Color: Golden colored
• Nose: The scent is characterized by its origins in the gravelly rock in the limestone soil. First on the nose you notice a hint of flint, followed by a delicate yeast note, nuances of fresh citrus fruits, juicy apple, meadow flowers and meadow herbs, with hints of nuts, sesame and mushrooms, warm bread crust. Overall a very complex bouquet.   
• Mouth: This Chardonnay expresses its terroir in a lasting effect, almost more tactilely than tastefully. Its calm, completely dry fruit is underlined by nutty and delicately smoky notes acquired during its maturation in barrels. A very fine acidity permeates its well-structured body with good persistence, while it is supple with a long-lasting taste.
• Drinking recommendation : Serve at 8-10°C.

Organic wine production, Oeko-Wein-Gut Zang, Chardonnay, "Kapellenstueck", white

All grapes are harvested by hand and spontaneously fermented with the grapes' own yeasts and matued in wooden barrels. With the exception of some SO2, no preservatives or fining agents are used.

The unfiltered single-vineyard wine comes from one of our younger plots. This is located on the north-east slope behind Nordheim in the direction of the vineyard chapel and is therefore referred to by us as the 'chapel piece'. They are still quite young vines (planted in 2010), whose Francophile character is only slowly emerging over the years.
