2025 Westhofener Morstein Chardonnay Trocken Magnum from David Spies is a powerful and complex German Chardonnay from one of Rheinhessen's most renowned vineyards. Hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes and oak aging result in a wine with ripe pear, fresh citrus, creamy fullness, and characteristic notes of butter, roasted nuts, and subtle oak. Minerality and vibrant acidity keep the wine fresh and precise. Presented here in an impressive Magnum 150 cl. – perfect for the dinner table and special occasions.
Westhofener Morstein Chardonnay Trocken is one of the more ambitious white wines from Weingut David Spies. The grapes come from the famous Morstein vineyard near Westhofen and are harvested by hand once they have reached the desired level of ripeness.
After the harvest, the Chardonnay wine is allowed to develop in oak barrels. The barrel provides additional structure, depth, and a creamy texture, while the wine’s fresh acidity and mineral character ensure the expression remains elegant and precise.
In terms of taste, this is a Chardonnay with personality: fresh citrus and ripe pear meet creamy and toasted notes that may evoke thoughts of buttery popcorn and nuts. Beneath the ripe fruit lies a cool, stony minerality that gives the wine tension and a long finish.
The style has clear parallels to barrel-aged Chardonnay from Burgundy, but the Morstein site and Rheinhessen provide the wine with its own unique German identity characterized by freshness, minerality, and precision.
This edition comes in a Magnum 150 cl. bottle, equivalent to two standard bottles. The magnum format not only looks impressive on the table but also makes the wine particularly suitable for larger dinners, parties, and festive occasions.
Westhofener Morstein is considered one of the most acclaimed vineyards in Rheinhessen. The site is particularly associated with calcareous soils and wines with distinct structure, minerality, and great potential.
Historically, Morstein is most famous for Riesling, but Chardonnay also thrives here. The grape’s natural fullness combined with the vineyard's cool, mineral character makes it possible to create Chardonnay with both ripeness, freshness, and depth.
Rheinhessen is Germany's largest wine region and has undergone a significant quality transformation over the last few decades. A new generation of producers now works purposefully with single vineyards, lower yields, and precise vinification, and David Spies is a part of this development.
Weingut David Spies is based in Dittelsheim-Heßloch in Rheinhessen. David Spies manages the winery in the third generation and works with his family on approximately 15 hectares of vineyards.
The philosophy is focused on craftsmanship, terroir, and wines with both personality and balance. The range spans from classic Riesling to Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder), and Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder).
The Westhofener Morstein Chardonnay showcases the more ambitious side of the estate: hand-harvested grapes from an excellent vineyard combined with barrel aging and a style where ripeness and creamy fullness meet fresh acidity and minerality.
Nose: Complex and inviting with fresh citrus, ripe pear, and stone fruit, accompanied by creamy notes of butter, roasted nuts, and subtle oak.
Taste: Full-bodied and powerful, yet precise and elegant. Ripe pear and citrus are combined with a creamy texture, fine oak notes, and a cool mineral character. The vibrant acidity creates balance and keeps the generous fruit fresh.
Finish: Long, mineral, and persistent with citrus, ripe fruit, nuts, and elegant oak spice. A serious Chardonnay with both fullness and freshness.
Serve 2025 Westhofener Morstein Chardonnay at approximately 10-12°C. Use a large Chardonnay or Burgundy glass, allowing the wine’s complexity and oak profile room to develop.
The wine benefits from aeration. Feel free to open it 30-60 minutes before serving or pour it into a decanter. It can be enjoyed young for its fruit and energy, but the combination of acidity, structure, and oak also offers interesting potential for further development in the bottle.
