2022 Gau-Weinheim Chardonnay trocken Rheinhessen Stumm & Klein 0,75l

The 2022 Gau-Weinheim Chardonnay trocken from Stumm & Klein is a precise, Burgundy-inspired white wine from one of Rheinhessen’s most limestone-rich sites. Grown in the Kaisergarten and crafted in a low-intervention style, it combines mineral tension, ripe fruit, and a refined, long-lasting structure.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, elegant appearance that hints at its freshness and concentration. The nose opens with white blossoms, ripe pear, and yellow apple, layered with citrus zest, brioche, and a subtle hazelnut note. On the palate, it is taut yet generous, with juicy fruit, a creamy texture, and lively acidity framing a distinctly salty mineral core. The finish is long, focused, and energetic, and the wine has excellent aging potential thanks to its structure, depth, and fine-grained balance.

Production
This Ortswein comes from the Kaisergarten in Gau-Weinheim, a site known for its chalk- and limestone-rich soils, which lend the wine its salinity, drive, and longevity. The vines are densely planted and rooted in Burgundy-derived genetics, producing small, highly concentrated grapes. The fruit is selectively hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed, then aged for 18 months in used barriques on the lees before further maturation in stainless steel. It is bottled unfiltered, unfined, and with minimal sulfur, reflecting a purist low-intervention approach.

Food & Serving
A versatile food wine, it works beautifully with grilled fish, seafood, and poultry in light cream or butter sauces. It also pairs well with goat cheese and delicate vegetable dishes. Serve slightly chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is not essential but can help open up the wine if enjoyed young.
