Description
The Hanewald-Schwerdt Chardonnay reveals citrus & stone fruits with nuances of melons and herbs. Silky, lively with nice acidity.There is the merest whiff of old oak to this wine which is used purely to some softness to the mouthfeel. This is very appealing and an extremely enjoyable take on Chardonnay.
The family owned and operated estate Hanewald-Schwerdt was founded in 1955 in Leistadt. Today Thomas Hanewald & Stephan Schwerdt have taken over the family business which was established by their grandfather. The secret of their handcrafted wines is a unique limestone reef which dominates all the sites around Leistadt which really is a hidden treasure off the beaten track. The vines are old and surrounded by a protected natural resort in the shade of the Haardt mountains.

2024 Verdicchio di Matelica, ColleStefano
Verdicchio
Castelli di Jesi tends to hog the limelight when it comes to Verdicchio but we feel that the wines from Matelica tend to have a slight edge in terms of interest and complexity. ColleStefano is a wonderful organic property nestled among its private vineyards above Castelraimondo. The altitude (450m above sea level) provides protection from the sea winds and makes for a temperate climate. Their immaculate vineyards are part of a broader self-sustainable, eco-friendly and balanced system, with the soils only treated with organic manure, thus minimizing the presence of copper.
