Well German Chard easily beats the French white Burgh counterparts on a complexity/price ratio! Just a few are „In the know“ and the wines are stupid cheap for what they offer - good for me! The only quality importer is Lyle Fass. This wine is quite rare. Already turning dark yellow in the glass.
Stinky on the nose which blows off. Very complex. Tons of stuffing! May be even too rich? Great now but can go 5+ years. Lemon, complex citrus, lemon curd, rich. A ton of character! Touch of wood. Burned Hazelnuts. Very classy and special „I wish you where here…“ Will run this through my self-built (high quality) Argon line not the BS stuff wine shops have - and drink throughout the week in small increments. Even better than previously tested. I will make a case in point and will sample more German Chards for - all of you guys out there in 2026. May be importers will take notice. — 3 days ago

Outstanding! More minerality and longer in the palate then the Kühling-Gillot. Curious to drink it young once! — a year ago

Flowery with orchard fruit, rounded, enticing. Gorgeous nose.
On the palate rounder, a bit fuller with riper fruit - a touch exotic. So elegant, so poised, so juicy. A seducer & crowd pleaser. Year in, year out - never disappoints!
One my usual favs! — 2 years ago

Palate changed on my end who knows? Screwcap. Stinky too much ‘Sulfur’? I don’t enjoy this wine any more. Comes across as rich and big. Some hazelnut honeydew. Lacks finesse. 12.5%. Hint bitter. Lemon curd. Just too rich lacks elegance. If you look for German Chards to best white Burghs for the money this particular bottle ain’t it. May be they picked too late.

More notes soon. A freak show!

Day 2 notes. Lychee, ripe grapefruit, vanilla extract and chamomile tea. Palate is rich, juicy and has cake icing texture. Super fruity but also fresh. Acid is not awful. 9.4 to 9.5 overnight. — 3 years ago
