Thorle Kalk & Kreide Saulheim Trocken

55% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Blanc. Named Lime and Chalk, fruit comes from the best vineyard parcels in Saulheim, grown on chalky limestone, planted in the 1990s on the western part of the Hölle. After selective harvesting according to ripeness, the berries are gently crushed and then immediately pressed. This extract-rich Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc was spontaneously fermented with natural yeasts and aged on lees for 10 months. The lees were stirred monthly to further enhance the wine’s richness and creaminess.

On the nose, it displays smoky and yeasty notes with a robust character. On the palate, it is opulent and ripe, yet underpinned by a noticeable, salty minerality. A subtle oak spice completes this liquid masterpiece. The finish of this top-tier Burgundy blend challenges the palate, showcasing its creamy, yeasty length.
