Description
A couple of years ago Tim Fröhlich heard about a few rows of very old Chardonnay vines in a vineyard above Bad Kreuznach. They were about to be grubbed up, but he persuaded the owner to let him take over their management, and since last year the fruit has been the source of his reserve Chardonnay. It is a wine of extraordinary depth and purity, made in the estate’s typically reductive style, full of juicy zingy citrus with a hint of green, and a complex cool flinty saline mineral flourish on the long tight finish.
