Haus Klosterberg Chardonnay

Chardonnay from the Mosel — that sounds unusual, but it is a consistent concept for Markus Molitor. The winery from Bernkastel-Wehlen is one of the most well-known addresses on the Middle Mosel and is primarily known for its steep-slope Rieslings. The fact that Molitor also grows Chardonnay shows the ambition: grape varieties that develop tension on the slate soils of the Mosel, instead of just meeting expectations.

The Haus Klosterberg Chardonnay is dry and straightforward. On the nose, bright fruit — white peach, ripe pear — with a subtle mineral line in the background. On the palate, fresh acidity structure, medium body, no heavy weight. The finish is clear and persistent, with a slight hint of citrus zest.

Good with poultry in a light sauce, with risotto with herbs or with mild goat cheese. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. An everyday wine with heritage behind it — for an evening during the week just as much as for an uncomplicated table with friends.
