The luminous yellow-colored 2023 Schlossberg Hecklingen Chardonnay GG is still super reductive (sulfury) on the precise, fresh and coolish yet intense and substantial nose that is reminiscent of fresh Amalfi lemons, lemon leaves and saline notes of crushed stones. Full-bodied, intense and juicy on the palate, with a lemon-fresh savoriness, this is a very elegant and balanced Schlossberg Chardonnay with lots of salt, grip and tension. This wine is never heavy but full of electricity and purity. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2025, just two weeks after bottling.
