Chardonnay Quarzit from Winery Pflüger – Organic Wine from the Palatinate
The Chardonnay Quarzit 2024 from Weingut Pflüger is an estate wine from Bad Dürkheim in the Palatinate. This organic wine is characterized by its grape variety combined with the cool minerality typical of the classic Palatinate terroirs, as well as aromas of crisp grapes, fine notes of banana and juicy mandarin. An elegant creaminess complements this full-bodied yet finely woven Burgundy, which is very present and persistent, impressing with a medium body, good acid balance, and moderate alcohol content. A straightforward, honest Chardonnay type.
The Weingut Pflüger Chardonnay Quarzit is balanced and well-structured. It pairs with a wide variety of dishes and leaves a lasting impression. Its delicate aromas make this white wine a perfect companion for vegetarian vegetable dishes as well as light meals with fish or seafood.
Weingut Pflüger – Organic Wine Production
The vines for this Chardonnay estate wine from Weingut Pflüger grow in organically cultivated vineyards in the municipalities of Bad Dürkheim and Friedelsheim. What they all have in common is the quartzite soil underground, which brings a fine salty minerality to the wine. To harvest ripe grapes in autumn, winemaker Alexander Pflüger has been working according to biodynamic principles since 2008, refraining from artificial fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides, following the seasons and the moon, and working as naturally as possible. Weingut Pflüger is Demeter certified.
The harvesting of the Chardonnay grapes often takes place in several picking rounds. In the winery's cellar, which is located opposite the salt works in Bad Dürkheim, the grapes are gently processed. The mash is pressed with gentle pressure, and the must is spontaneously fermented. The Chardonnay remains on the lees for a long time and is aged in stainless steel tanks, allowing its fruitiness to express itself optimally.
