Kopp Chardonnay '23

From the limestone slopes of Germany's Pfalz region, this Chardonnay presents a pale green-gold hue. The nose offers precise aromas of yellow apple, wet flint, and acacia honey with subtle oak spice. The palate delivers Burgundian complexity - flavors of lemon curd, hazelnut, and crushed stone unfold with vibrant acidity (6.9 g/L TA) that earned 93-95 point accolades. Fermented and aged 10 months in French oak (30% new), this 13% alcohol white finishes with a stony persistence. Pair with roasted turbot or aged cheeses - the 2023 vintage shows Germany's emerging potential with noble white varieties.
