Saalwächter, Chardonnay Alte Reben 2023
Place: Rheinhessen, Germany
Grape: Chardonnay
Vibe: German Burg
Made in the modern Burgundy mould. Limestone soils, Burgundian clones, and the like. Reduction at first, which, given the time and love it deserves, fleshes out into a wine that would give any primo Chardonnay region a run for its money. If you like PYCM, you’ll be more than happy here. Gun flint, piquant citrus, and apple skin bitters. I used to think Germany was only good for its beer. How wrong I was. ABV: 12%
