Tomislav Markovic Chardonnay Grube 2022 offers expressive aromas of white flowers, gunpowder, flint, apple, and sea shells. On the palate, the wine is light, with electric acidity and vibrant lemon notes. Two words describe this wine: gastronomic Chardonnay. It’s an excellent choice for those who appreciate a spicy, terroir-oriented Chardonnay with an artisanal character, making it a noteworthy addition in any setting.
Tomislav Marković’s terroir wines showcase his meticulous approach to winemaking. His flagship Pinot Noir "On the Rocks" – From Volcanic Soil is crafted using open mash fermentation, incorporating whole grape clusters and foot tamping for enhanced extraction. This wine remains unfiltered, unfined, and untouched by pumps, providing an authentic expression of the volcanic terroir. Another standout, the Pinot Noir "Parabole" – Old Vines – From Loess Loam Soil over Volcanic Rocks, is vinified similarly, with lower yields and 100% whole grape clusters, resulting in a profound and complex profile. The Sauvignon Blanc "Siefersheimer Heerkretz" – From Porphyry is a distinctive white, aged oxidatively in Slavonian oak for an extensive 18-month lees period, creating a layered profile with minimal filtration and no fining. Tomislav Marković's Chardonnay Grube is a refined example of his terroir-focused approach, crafted from select grapes in the Grube vineyard. The vinification process for Chardonnay Grube emphasizes minimal intervention to capture the vineyard's unique characteristics. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in open fermenters, allowing a slow, natural process that brings out nuanced flavors and complexity. Aging takes place in large neutral oak barrels, where the wine rests on fine lees for up to 18 months, adding depth, texture, and a subtle creaminess without overpowering oak influence.
