Tasting Notes: The Chardonnay Feldstück of Matthias Warnung is like most of his wines aged over 2 years in large neutral wooden barrels on the full lees and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. On the nose pear, fresh quince, chamomile and some hay. On the palate a subtle phenolic paired with a delicate acidity, no noticeable wood, quince again with a slight yeasty touch, finishing slightly salty with a delicate melt and a bit of baby fat. It is not one of those artificially overloaded wines bursting with power. It is coherent in every way and shines with its elegant yet delicate nature.
