2022 Chardonnay trocken Florian Reus Franken 0,75l

The 2022 Chardonnay trocken from Florian Reus is a striking Franconian white that combines Burgundian-inspired depth with the cool mineral edge of Franken. Sourced from Randersacker and crafted with uncompromising handwork and low-intervention winemaking, it stands out for its precision, texture, and clear sense of place.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw to light gold in the glass, it opens with an expressive, layered nose of ripe pear, yellow apple, and citrus zest, backed by toasted nuts, brioche, and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate it is dense and creamy yet firmly structured, with fresh acidity, fine oak spice, and a delicate reductive touch that adds complexity. The finish is long, salty-mineral, and elegantly creamy, leaving a refined impression that balances richness and tension beautifully. This is a Chardonnay with excellent balance and the capacity to develop further complexity over the next several years.

Production
The grapes come from Randersacker in Franken, where muschelkalk, loess, and limestone soils contribute to concentrated, precise, and mineral-driven fruit. The vineyard is farmed with a natural, hands-on approach, and the grapes are selectively harvested by hand before being processed in a basket press with controlled oxidation. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in barrique without temperature control, followed by 12 months on full lees in wood without bâtonnage; the wine is bottled unfiltered and with minimal sulfur.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs especially well with grilled fish, poultry, creamy dishes, mushrooms, and refined vegetarian cuisine. Serve at 10–12 °C, and decanting is not necessary, though a brief aeration can help if you want to open up its layered aromas a little more.
