"Expansive nose of candied citrus, fresh nuts, flint and fresh herbs. The spot-on balance of ripeness, creaminess and chalky minerality, plus underplayed power and concentration make this stand out in the rapidly developing field of German chardonnays. Very long, focused finish. Excellent aging potential. From organically grown grapes." - James Suckling
"Brilliant straw-yellow in the glass, slight haze of yeast. Intense scent of yellow fruits, accompanied by a fine woody spiciness from aging in French barriques. Firm structure on the palate, supported by salty minerality from the limestone soils around Westhofen. Full-bodied and creamy with a long finish.
The Immels from the Rhine make up a network of families with roots in the region stretching back across more than seven centuries. Here, in the rolling, chalky hills where the most precious vineyards in the region open imposingly towards the river, is where the Immel family in 1754 settled and bought land.
With a feel for the soil, climate and nature, the young team of Immel continues a careful preservation and expansion of regional winegrowing tradition. They uphold a tireless commitment to controlled organic viticulture, certified by the EU Bio seal, thus preserving the green Hills of the Rheinhessen for many generations to come." - Immel
