Some vineyards suffered from torrential rains, others from drought. In Ellerstadt, the Schneider family was blessed by the weather. 2023 brought a spring without frost and a very warm summer with rainfall just when it was needed. This was accompanied by picture-perfect weather during the harvest in September with 298 hours of sunshine, double the long-term average. Around 50 harvest helpers from September 4th to October 20th ensured one of the highest-quality vintages in the estate's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines for this Markus Schneider Chardonnay grow mostly in elevated, cool limestone sites around Ellerstadt in the Palatinate. The stony and barren limestone marl plots are an ideal location for this international grape variety due to the late onset of ripening. Markus Schneider harvests only a very small portion at high ripeness from a lower-lying, warmer vineyard in order to combine both batches later. This way, ripe, healthy grapes are harvested and processed gently in the modern winery. After a short maceration period of 2 hours, the must is pressed gently under low pressure and then aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without external intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChardonnay – a wine and its values\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Wine from Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region: Palatinate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety: Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eScrew cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e12.5% vol. alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e6.2 g\/l acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e2.2 g\/l residual sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Markus Schneider","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53073893261646,"sku":"008WMS1318","price":11.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/markus-schneider-chardonnay-2023.jpg?v=1751010374","url":"https:\/\/norgutes.com\/en\/products\/markus-schneider-chardonnay-2023","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
