Piesporter Chardonnay Reserve 2023, Kettern-Niepoort
Region: Duitsland
Producer: FIO Wines
This German Riesling—the result of a collaboration between the versatile Dirk Niepoort from Portugal and Philipp Kettern, a young, passionate winemaker from the Mosel—seeks to create a synthesis of all the vineyard plots they cultivate in Piesport. While the other cuvées typically originate from a single specific plot, this one is a blend of grapes from all the plots.| Volume | 75.0 cl. |

| Vinification | The juice ferments in stainless steel tanks and then ages on the full lees for a full year. This protects and nourishes the wine. After a year, the wine is racked, retaining only the fine lees. It then undergoes a further nine months of aging before bottling. |
