"This powerful yet energetic German chardonnay has great depth of candied citrus and flint character. The interplay of creaminess and mineral freshness on the medium-bodied palate is stunning and the long finish is as impressive and precise as a Rodin sculpture. Drink or hold."

"Another wine marked by reduction but a little less so than the Knewitz. Smoky and stony more than struck match. Lots of tension and mouth-watering freshness, relatively light on the mid palate but long and very pure. (JH)"

"From limestone terraces, the 2021 Chardonnay Besigheim Niedernberg is pure, intense and fresh on the spicy nose that is reminiscent of crushed stones and herbs. Very elegant and refined on the palate, this Niedernberg shows very well balanced and finely juicy, aromatic fruit and develops a delicate, calm and serious finish. This is an excellent, pure and balanced Chardonnay that was released as Chardonnay "S" in former years. The finish is long, finely structured and aromatic. Seriously good. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in March 2024."

"A little more oak spice in evidence than in the Sonnenberg. More power, too, and still with a terrific balance between freshness and substance. Deep, long and still needs more time. (JH)"
