WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Sander Chardonnay Reserve 2021 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes from Rheinhessen. A portion of the grapes undergoes skin maceration before fermentation, which takes place in a combination of barriques, large wooden barrels, and clay amphorae. The wine is then aged in these same vessels. Harvest is performed manually. The winery employs organic and biodynamic farming practices, emphasizing a holistic approach to viticulture and soil health.
