Why shop with us?
The 2023 Chardonnay Bio is Bastian Beny’s first single-varietal Chardonnay, offering a precise, saline style with a character of its own. Made from French clones planted in 2017, it marks a new direction for the young Rheinhessen vines, whose early harvests went into the estate’s blends.
Tasting Notes
The nose is layered, with spicy, gently earthy notes alongside ripe apple, quince and a touch of lemon peel. Fruit stays restrained, while a fine mineral character—reminiscent of wet stones—comes to the fore. On the palate, the wine is described as precise and saline. No specific guidance on its aging potential is available.
Production
The Chardonnay comes from a relatively cool Rheinhessen site with limestone-rich soils. The grapes are hand-harvested and spontaneously fermented in used oak. The wine then rests for an extended period on its full lees before being bottled unfiltered after around 18 months.
Food & Serving
Its restrained fruit, saline edge and mineral character should work well with grilled fish, shellfish, roast chicken or creamy vegetable dishes. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential; a little time in the glass can help the wine open up.
