Winzerhof Thörle
Kalk & Kreide Saulheim Chardonnay Pinot Blanc
One of my favorite sleeper wines in my portfolio. Nose has lemon pith and flesh and a hint of creaminess. Gorgeous and clear minerals. Smells like a scene in nature. So vivid and like a field. Palate is just so complete with lemon, grapefruit and green apple flavors and a lovely limestone minerality throughout and tons of sap and length. With air the nose has a unique grassy element. Really fresh and perfectly integrated acidity. This is the type of wine restaurants in the usa need by the glass. Of course it would be overpriced but at least it will be great. Really picking up some finesse now with air. This is so well made. Nose is stanky mineral now. Also so saline. Sea breeze. Palate has such grace and a quiet density. Round and fresh.

Dec 4th, 2024Nose is riper than the 2022. But still crystallized. Yellow fruits. Palate is ripe and rich. Electric and rich. So long and just perky Excellent wine.

Jun 8th, 2024After last night’s heavy lumber nice to have such an outstanding every day wine. Gorgeous crystalline nose of yellow fruits, green apple, minerals and such lift and purity. Palate is like icing on a cake with terrific fruit skin flavors and awesome purity and balance. Serious enough for wine geeks and playful enough for beginners. Truly a joyful wine.
