Markus Schneider Chardonnay Johanniskreuz

The Markus Schneider Chardonnay Johanniskreuz refers in its name to the place "Johanneskreuz" in the Palatinate Forest, which is generally considered a kind of origin of the Palatinate Forest. Particularly old oaks grow there, which were likely already standing there in Napoleon's time and are perfectly suited for the production of wine barrels.

The Markus Schneider Chardonnay Johanniskreuz is stored in such barrels made from old Palatinate oak.

The wine shows a noble yellow-green, and its aromas are diverse. The spectrum ranges from citrus fruits, almond, and apple to vanilla and roasted aromas, and even pineapple.

In the mouth, it shows a beautiful fullness, but also plenty of fruit and finesse.

The wine is a masterpiece by Markus Schneider!

The Winery

Markus Schneider

Markus Schneider from Ellerstadt in the Palatinate has built a winery since 1994 that does many things differently than his colleagues: no site designations, no quality levels (Prädikate), but instead modern brand wines with an international mix of grape varieties and an unmistakable character. Where others rely on traditional classifications, Schneider consistently goes his own way – and that is exactly what makes his wines so recognizable.

On around 92 hectares, concentrated, fruit-driven wines are created, which are characterized by late harvest, targeted yield reduction, and careful cellar technology. Every bottle seems like the result of uncompromising craftsmanship rather than mere routine – powerful, expressive, and always provided with a clear style. The avoidance of herbicides, insecticides, and artificial fertilizers, as well as the FAIR'N GREEN certification, also show that Schneider thinks of quality and responsibility together from the very beginning.

The small barn on the family farm has long since become a business with an annual production of around 800,000 bottles – and thus one of the most idiosyncratic success stories of the German wine scene. Those looking for wines with edges, corners, and real recognition value will find exactly that at Markus Schneider.
