Known for being one of the finest wine producers in the country, Weinguit Eins Leitz has made it his life’s work to bring the magic of Germany’s vineyards to the rest of the world. The Eins Zwei Zero Chardonnay hails from the Pfalz region of Germany, where a relatively warm, dry climate makes for rich, full-bodied wines. Chardonnay grapes are grown, harvested, and fermented before undergoing delicate vacuum distillation to remove alcohol and preserve classic wine-like characteristics. Vinous qualities are delicately upheld in a clean, fruit-forward palate and gentle acidity.

If you’re serving a red and a white option, Leitz recommends this one alongside their Pinot Noir. As far as food goes, we’re looking forward to exploring pairings with fresh, buttery seafood in the summertime and warm, gooey pastas in the winter. And isn’t there something comforting about a classic, standalone glass of Chardonnay, too?
