Seckinger 'R Chardonnay Pur' '21

This German Chardonnay from Pfalz presents elegant aromas of yellow apple, lemon curd, and toasted almond with subtle floral notes. The palate is beautifully balanced, with creamy texture offset by crisp acidity and flavors of ripe pear, vanilla, and a touch of smoke that scored 92 points. Fermented in large oak casks, it finishes with impressive length and mineral complexity. A superb example of Germany's Chardonnay potential that pairs wonderfully with roast chicken or creamy pasta dishes.
