2022 Chardonnay Schweigen QW, dry, 13% vol., F. Becker

Burgundian elegance from the Palatinate! This VDP.Ortswein (regional wine) captivates with its limestone soils around Schweigen. A profound, characterful Chardonnay with enormous aging potential. The bouquet enchants with ripe citrus fruits, mango, roasted nuts, and a chalky, smoky minerality. On the palate, it is taut and concentrated. The dense, creamy body is perfectly balanced by a fresh acidity and culminates in a long, noticeably salty-mineral finish.
