Harkamp 5 Elemente 2017 Große Reserve

Description

Only if the vintage truly produces an exceptional base wine, may it age with us as a Große Reserve.
The Chardonnay grapes for this Blanc de Blancs come from a steep vineyard, characterized by marl, on the Kogelberg near Leibnitz. 72 months of yeast aging give this sparkling wine plenty of time to develop. It results in a Blanc de Blancs with an extremely fine mousse, an intense aroma of yellow-fleshed fruits and brioche. On the palate, it is salty, taut, and finely structured, with intense minerality in the finish. Sparse yet incredibly complex at the same time.

In the finish, Hannes, as with the 14/84, uses the Double-Zero method: Zero sugar and zero added sulfur.

Our 5 Elements 2017 presents itself as extremely straightforward and fine-bubbled, with good pressure and tension on the palate. A sparkling wine with high potential for development and aging
