Weingut Sander Chardonnay Reserve Bio 2023 white

Weingut Sander Chardonnay Reserve Bio 2023 is a beautifully textured, biodynamic-style Chardonnay from Rheinhessen that rewards patience and attention. Built from fruit grown on the Schlossberg and shaped by partial skin fermentation, long lees aging, and careful maturation in a mix of large oak, barrique, and tonneau, it offers a serious, layered expression of German Chardonnay with a quietly historical, artisan feel.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense bronze-gold hue with slow, lingering legs that hint at its richness. The nose opens with nutty tones and a gentle herbal smokiness before unfolding into ripe quince, marzipan, dried pear, apple core, sweet chestnut, and a touch of cream caramel. The palate is creamy, full-bodied, and deeply textured, with phenolic grip from the oak and extended maturation adding structure and complexity. Rather than being overtly fruity, this Chardonnay leans into a savory, contemplative style with impressive depth; it should age gracefully for several years, gaining more nuttiness, spice, and integration over time.

Production
The wine comes from the Schlossberg site in Rheinhessen, where the cooler conditions help preserve freshness while allowing full ripeness. Stefan Sander gives the wine plenty of time to develop, with partial skin fermentation, extended lees contact, no filtration, and maturation in large oak casks, barrique, and tonneau to build texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled at around 10–12°C to let the aromatics and creamy texture unfold. It pairs particularly well with roast poultry, veal, rich mushroom dishes, mature hard cheeses, or seafood with butter and herb sauces; decanting is optional but can help open the wine if served young.
