The 2015 Chardonnay is deep, fresh and pure on the nose, displaying bright fruits intertwined with a great mineral expression, honey and biscuit aromas. Fascinating! Silky, round and lush on the palate, this is a generous, highly elegant and concentrated Chardonnay with very fine tannins and a lingering, really salty and piquant mineral finish. It's still a baby but is already showing all its great talents. This is one of the finest Chardonnays I have ever tasted from Martha and Daniel Gantenbein. It has great balance, finesse and complexity as well as the most elegant expression of power and persistency. Tasted November 2018.

Along the breathtaking Rhine Valley of Grisons, the Gantenbein winery is found in the small wine-growing village of Fläsch. Founded in 1982 by Martha and Daniel Gantenbein, they began by planting their 6-hectare estate with Burgundy clones. Today the property is predominately dedicated to Pinot Noir production, while much smaller areas are devoted to Chardonnay and Riesling growth. Martha and Daniel agreed early on that quality was key – therefore meticulous viticulture and vinification processes are followed. They even use gravity-feed tanks, where the flow of the grapes and the juice is regulated by the earth’s natural pressure without the need of pumps or filters. Along with their top Pinot Noirs, the estate also crafts two smaller production wines of Riesling and Chardonnay.
