{"product_id":"weingut-bastian-beny-chardonnay-bio-2023","title":"Weingut Bastian Beny Chardonnay Bio 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Frank Beny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252819677521,"sku":"VC-8327015","price":26.26,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/weingut-bastian-beny-chardonnay-bio-2023-0.jpg?v=1791675336","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/weingut-bastian-beny-chardonnay-bio-2023","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
