2023 Ihringen Winklerberg Chardonnay VDP.Erste Lage, Baden, Germany

Cool, polished, slightly fresh-plant-like to herbal nose with youthful, bright yellow fruit notes, floral nuances, very delicate barrel notes, and a hint of mushrooms. Clear, straightforward, finely juicy fruit, nutty, subtly floral, and again reminiscent of fresh mushrooms notes, bright barrel tones in the background, very fine acidity and delicate grip, good sustainability, red berry traces, moderate, very slightly sweet melt, very good finish.
