2021 Chardonnay "Edition Weltmeister" Florian Reus Franken 0,75l

The 2021 Chardonnay "Edition Weltmeister" from Florian Reus is a distinctive single-vineyard wine from Randersacker in Franken, offering a refined blend of Burgundian depth and Franconian precision. Crafted in a hands-on, natural style, it stands out for its mineral backbone, layered complexity, and impressive aging potential.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chardonnay shows a focused, elegant profile with bright citrus, ripe orchard fruit, and a subtle golden sheen. The nose is highly expressive, with notes of nuts, citrus peel, celery, shiitake, Thai basil, and a delicate smoky nuance. On the palate, it feels taut, cool, and beautifully juicy, with vineyard peach, lively acidity, chalky minerality, and a fine grip on the finish. The aftertaste is long, deep, and lightly tobacco-tinged, promising excellent development over time. This is a Chardonnay built for the cellar, with the structure and acidity to age gracefully for several years. With time, its mineral and savory layers are likely to become even more pronounced, adding further nuance and depth.

Production
The grapes come from Randersacker in Franken, where the vineyards are shaped by shell limestone, loess, and limestone soils that bring tension, mineral depth, and longevity to the wine. The fruit is harvested by hand in selective pickings, then handled gently in a basket press with controlled oxidation before spontaneous fermentation in barriques without temperature control. The wine then spends 12 months on full lees in new oak and is bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfur.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay is a natural match for grilled fish, seafood, poultry, and mushroom-based dishes, and it also works especially well with Asian cuisine or more complex vegetarian plates. Serve it at 10–12 °C; decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help open up its layers if enjoyed young.
