Weingut Hofmann Steinberg Chardonnay Reserve 2016, from Germany’s Rheinhessen, is a 100% Chardonnay sourced from limestone-rich Steinberg soils. The bouquet unveils a vibrant array of green apple, pear, and lemon curd, interwoven with brioche, vanilla, and a subtle minerality. The palate is full-bodied, with crisp acidity and a creamy texture, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of toasted almond. Aged for 12 months in French oak (40% new), it delivers a refined, lingering finish with excellent aging potential. Perfect for pairing with lobster, roasted poultry, or aged cheeses, this Chardonnay reflects Hofmann’s artisanal precision and commitment to quality. The 2016 vintage, known for its balance and depth, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, offering a sophisticated Rheinhessen white for enthusiasts seeking richness and elegance. Its harmonious flavor profile and structured finesse make it a standout choice for collectors.
