Margarethenhof, Chardonnay Reserve unfiltriert 2022 White

Margarethenhof Chardonnay Reserve Unfiltriert 2022 is a distinctive Mosel white that brings together the region’s cool-climate finesse with a richer, more textured Burgundy-inspired style. Crafted by the Weber family in Ayl, it reflects the estate’s rare position between the Mosel and Saar, where contrasting soils help shape wines with both precision and depth. With Nicolas Weber now guiding the winemaking, the estate combines traditional craftsmanship with a fresh, low-intervention approach.

Tasting Notes
This unfiltered Chardonnay typically shows a bright golden hue with a naturally slightly cloudy, authentic appearance. On the nose, expect ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, subtle stone fruit, and gentle notes of toast, nuts, and wet stone, with the unfiltered style adding extra complexity and texture. The palate is likely to be round and layered, balancing creamy richness with lively acidity and a distinctly mineral edge. Thanks to the reserve style, it should offer good depth and a persistent finish, and it has the structure to develop further in bottle over the next few years.

Production
Margarethenhof is based in Ayl at the Mosel, where the family farms vineyards spread across both the Saar and the southern Weinmosel. The contrasting terroirs are key to the estate’s style: limestone soils in the south lend breadth and Burgundy-like volume, while the slate slopes near the Saar, including the nearby Ayler Kupp, contribute minerality and freshness. Since the 2020 harvest, Nicolas Weber—trained as an oenologist—has led the cellar with a focus on close-to-nature viticulture and minimal intervention. The wine is made unfiltered to preserve texture, character, and purity.

Food & Serving
Serve this Chardonnay at around 10–12°C. It works beautifully with roast chicken, grilled fish, creamy pasta, veal, mushroom dishes, or mature soft cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but a brief airing in the glass can help reveal its aromatic complexity.
