2022 Chardonnay Jungenberg

Jois. Vines 20–30 years old on schist soils. Spontaneous fermentation. Aged in 12-hl Stockinger barrels. Natural cork closure. RS 1 g/l. Certified organic. Lean, cool, with a frisson of volatile acidity giving it a natural-wine character. It’s impressively fresh for a three-year-old Chardonnay, and one from such a warm vintage. A touch floral, spicy. White-apple flesh, apple-skin floral notes. Very, very pretty the longer it stays in my head. Very, very long. Fills the head with lasting scent. (TQT)
