Saturday, March 2, 2024 - Robert Mondavi Winery Masterclass Tasting (Hattenheim, Germany): Straw yellow colour, somewhat stronger than the entry-level Napa Valley Chardonnay. The fruit on the nose is less expressive, far less citrusy. Instead nutty, a little bread, smoky. Spontaneously fermented. Matured on the lees for ten months in 57% new French oak barrels. Soft in the mouth, a flattering body. More elegant and finesse than the first wine. Gentle acidity, creamy, medium body. The flavour is primarily fruity with lemon and mandarin. Slightly longer on the finish. Quite nice, offers more complexity and is a step up from the winery's "basic" Napa Chardonnay. [First published on DMueller.com.]
