Oppenheim Alte Reben Chardonnay

Wow. This is really good. Rich and powerful. Lemon and other citrus. Long finish. Exquisite.

This is very rare and very awesome. Nose is reticent at first. Hints of wood, huge ass minerality, you can really smell the limestone. Expansive aromas. It’s so subtle and beautiful. Wow. Truly a wow nose as it unfurls. Lime, lemon, other random citrus, sponti aromas, so complex. 1er cru Meursault quality here. Wow that’s a palate. Super explosive, elegant and clean. Tangy as all hell. Wow, superb. Concentrated and so pretty. Juicy and serene. Just brilliant. Unreal inner mouth aromas and just stunning purity and genius use of wood. It frames it perfectly. Wonderful structure suggests at least 5-8 years ahead of it. Really terrific.

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.
