2023 Chardonnay trocken Florian Reus Franken 0,75l

The 2023 Chardonnay trocken from Florian Reus is a modern, terroir-driven Franconian white that combines freshness, finesse, and subtle creaminess. Sourced from muschelkalk soils and crafted with a hands-on, artisanal approach, it highlights the precision that has made Franken an exciting home for Burgundian varieties.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, it opens with aromas of yellow apple, pear, and citrus, layered with gentle spice, hazelnut, and a touch of brioche. On the palate it is clear, juicy, and elegant, with fine acidity, a creamy texture, and a distinct mineral line that gives the wine energy and length. The muschelkalk influence adds saline tension and a refined structure, keeping the wine balanced and lively rather than overly rich. It should drink beautifully now for its freshness and texture, while also having the concentration to develop further complexity over the next few years.

Production
This Ortswein comes from vineyards in Franken where muschelkalk soils lend structure, salinity, and finesse to the wine. The grapes were selectively hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, partly in stainless steel and partly in wooden casks. Several months on full lees added depth, texture, and subtle complexity while preserving the wine’s bright, precise character.

Food & Serving
A versatile food wine, it works especially well with grilled fish, poultry, creamy pasta dishes, seafood, and mild cheeses. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C; decanting is not necessary, though a short aeration can help if opened young.

Producer
Florian Reus represents a modern, craft-focused style in Franken, with an emphasis on origin, clarity, and careful vineyard work. While no further producer history is provided, the wine’s quality-driven approach and elegant Burgundian profile reflect the region’s growing reputation for precise, mineral white wines.
