Jonas is one of the top talents to emerge in the last few years in the Mosel, but this time right on the Luxembourg border. Brilliant wines, organically farmed with minimal sulphur, always so fresh and light yet complex.
 
The Frost24, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, with L-Nr. 4-26 was made from the second generation of fruit harvested in 2024 from
Chardonnay vines planted in 2015 and affected by frost in April 2024. It was directly pressed before the wine was fermented and aged in mostly
used oak barrels (only 15% of new oak) along natural lines, i.e. without any intervention and was bottled unfiltered and with little SO2 added (30
mg/l). It offers a rich and aromatic nose of marzipan, almond cream, candied citrus, bergamot, acacia, nutmeg, toast, and cinnamon, all wrapped in
a whiff of volatile acidity. The wine proves also rich and quite smooth on the juicy palate. It leaves an herbal and aromatic long finish, which is quite
impressive in density and presence. This is made for lovers of more natural Chardonnay. Now-2027
