Wine from Rheinhessen
Filter
Rheinhessen, also known as ‘the land of thousand hills’ is the largest wine region in Germany. It is situated at the southern part of Rheingau, northern part of Pfalz and eastern part of Nahe. Rheinhessen region is characterized by stony soils and warm climate that provide warmth and cultivation to different kinds of grape vines in the region.
Rheinhessen is divided into three regions; Bereich Nierstein, Bereich Bingen and Bereich Wonnegau. Bereich Nierstein is popular for its rich mineral deposits that make it a viable region for grape varietals to grow. Bereich Bingen accounts for majority of red wines produced in Rheinhessen. Bereich Wonnegau is home to Scheurebe grape that makes up about three percent of Rheinhessen’s wine produce.
A Müller-Thurgau grape leads the wine production in Rheinhessen followed by Riesling. Silvaner grape is considered to be the region’s oldest grape varietal but is not commonly produced now as it was before. Dornfelder dominates the red grape production in the region although Pinot Noir from Spätburgunder and Blanc de Noir has grown popular over the years.

The grapes for this wine come from loamy, well-drained soils on our estate vineyard. Dijon and Wente clones are fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak. This is an elegant chardonnay with a focused mid-palate and the refreshing cool climate acidity characteristic of Sea Smoke Vineyard.
Tasting Notes An elegant Chardonnay with aromas of lemon curd, star fruit, fresh cut peach and wet stone. Complemented by satsuma mandarins and a touch of hazelnut in the focused mid-palate and the refreshing cool climate acidity of our estate vineyard. Winemaking Our estate-grown Chardonnay fruit was picked and hand-sorted in the vineyard before spending the night in our cold room. Chilled grapes were softly pressed and the juice was gently pumped into a stainless steel tank and cold settled. Once the heavy solids were removed, the juice was racked to a stainless steel fermenter, then inoculated for primary fermentation. Following primary fermentation, the wine was racked to barrels, inoculated for malolactic fermentation, then periodically stirred to enhance depth and mouthfeel. The 2023 Sea Smoke Chardonnay was aged for a total of 10 months prior to bottling with no fining and no filtration.
