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 only Chardonnay/Elbling blend in the world. :)
 
The Pure Dolomite 2024, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, with L-Nr. 3-26 was made from a blend of Chardonnay (40%) and
Elbling (60%), which underwent around 15% mash fermentation for 6 days, and was fermented and aged in 228-liter used oak barrels along natural
lines, i.e. without any intervention and was bottled unfiltered and with little SO2 added (30 mg/l). It immediately reveals a rather funky character,
clearly in the natural wine style, with notes of curry, sage, cinnamon, wild herbs, marzipan, green apple, tangerine, and dried yellow flowers. On the
palate, the wine is quite round and charming, with a creamy texture and a sensation of smoothness. The finish, however, is thoroughly compelling
thanks to excellent acidity, which lends the wine tension and energy. The body also stands out, displaying lovely density. This wine needs a little
aging to bring all these elements into harmony. 2027-2032
