Grape Varieties - Chardonnay 100%

Alcohol by volume - 14.5%

Bottle - 75cl

Producer - Far Niente

Tasting notes - This wine opens with delicate aromas of citrus blossom, honeydew melon, pear, flint and toasted almonds. The palate is silky with pear and citrus flavours. Refreshing acidity leads to a juicy finish, layered with toasted oak.

NOSE Fresh rose and violet followed by orange blossom and honeysuckle.  Mango, peach, and ripe apricot slowly come into focus after a few patient minutes.

PALATE Ripe melon and lemon curd are the stars of the show here but quickly yield to fresh pineapple, quince jam, and clove. 

FINISH The acidity and viscosity of the wine are quite complementary and usher in a subtle sweetness highlighted by fresh fig and honey.    

The legendary Berncasteler Doctor vineyard is located behind the village of Bernkastel and is one of the most famous vineyards in Germany. This 100% steep site with a South-South West orientation consists of medium deep, stony loamy weathered argillaceous schist.
