Heitlinger, Chardonnay Tiefenbacher Spiegelberg Heinberg GG 2024
The yellow-fruited nose of Golden Delicious apple and lemon curd draws you into a smoky reductive note of gunflint and ash. Chamomile and cereal grain suggest fine lees work and fully integrated oak aging. Larger barrels and/or small, used French barrels seem likely here. The palate shows a salty, mineral-driven finish with lingering lees and Chamomile notes. Very good.
