The Weingut Bischel Chardonnay Trocken Réserve 2018 is an elegant dry white wine from Germany’s Rheinhessen region, crafted by the Bischel estate from select Chardonnay grapes. This 2018 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a vibrant nose of green apple, citrus zest, and white peach, with hints of toasted almond, vanilla, and subtle minerality. The palate is crisp and structured, with vibrant acidity, a concentrated fruit core, and a long, elegant finish with a touch of oaky complexity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects the limestone-rich terroir of Rheinhessen, delivering a Burgundian-style Chardonnay with finesse. Perfect with lobster, roasted poultry, or creamy cheeses, it offers a sophisticated dining experience. With over five years of aging, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve over the next 3-5 years, developing richer, nuttier notes. This Chardonnay showcases Bischel’s innovative approach, delivering a quality German white with elegance and depth, ideal for enthusiasts seeking a modern take on a classic grape.
