Granville Wine Co, Basalt Chardonnay 2023 Pfalz turn-on with tons of immediacy

turn-on with tons of immediacy but less in the way of detail or nuance

along with herbaceous hints that introduce the typical almondy finish

offering a stony tension rather than heavy richness

it is appetizing

the minimal intervention approach allows the wine's true essence shine through

Granville Wine Co, Basalt Chardonnay 2023 Pfalz turn-on with tons of immediacyFrom organically farmed vineyards planted on rich volcanic basalt soils in the Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills and Eola Amity Hills by a team who prioritise site and soil and follow a minimal interventionist approach. The result? Bright citrus and green apple, underlaid with wet stone and sea air; sophisticated, razor sharp, and fresh. Pair with roasted chicken, lobster, or grilled salmon.
