Wöhrle, Chardonnay Lahrer Kronenbühler Unten an der Teufelslochgasse GG 2024

Goes in a slightly more reductive direction than the Heitlinger Heinberg Chardonnay. Showing smokiness and lees right away on the nose. Singed pineapple, toasted brioche, and well-integrated oak complete the picture. An intensely salty and smoky palate follows, with yellow fruits lingering on the very long finish.

Scored on a five-star scale, where a plus is a third of a star. How I score and what I disclose is set out in my ethics and disclosure policy. More notes are in the review index, and the regional background is in Wine in Germany.
