The Chardonnay of Manuel Manzaneque is noticed by its freshness, thanks to the height of its vines of 1080 meters, and to the excellent balance between the fruit and the wood.

It is one of the great white wines of Spain and was the first of all the Spanish Chardonnays to gain a medal in the world-wide contest of Chardonnays of Burgundy.

In order to elaborate it, we carry out the grape harvest at night, to collect the grape at very low temperatures and apply pelicular maceration for ten hours to extract the maximum of precursors of aromas and primary aromas (fruit and floral) present in the skin of the grape.

Fermentation takes place at 16 ºC in French barrels from the valleys of Allier and Tronçais, that is to say with extra fine grains, to respect the fruit to the maximum.

Original Christkindlmarkt mulled wine from GERSTACKER... 

...when you want it cosy!

The cradle of our mulled wine was at the Nuremberg Christkindl- markt. The famous market is visited every year by millions of people, and they never fail to be captivated by the glittering market stalls as they sample gingerbread, grilled Nuremberg sausages and our delicious hot mulled wine.

Its well-balanced blend of natural spices, which include blueberries, aniseed, cardamom, mace petals, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, orange and lemon peel, pimento and much more has made it the most popular mulled wine in Germany. We only use strong, dark red wine from the Montepulciano grape from Italy. Nuremberg mulled wine is under EU protection as a product of particular quality and excellence, which can only be manufactured in Nuremberg.
