Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Chardonnay

Anyone who knows Chardonnay knows: there are worlds between flat, buttery products and true site depth. The Oberrotweiler Henkenberg from Landerer clearly belongs to the second category.

The Landerer winery is located in Vogtsburg-Oberrotweil at the Kaiserstuhl – one of the warmest and driest wine-growing regions in Germany. Volcanic weathering soils of loess and basalt shape the Henkenberg site and give the Chardonnay an unmistakable mineral basic tension that is still noticeable in the glass even after years.

On the nose, it shows ripe yellow pear, white peach, and a hint of toasted almond – subtle but present. On the palate, it feels dense and creamy without becoming heavy: the acidity keeps the wine lively, and the finish carries a fine spice and a salty aftertaste that is typical for Kaiserstuhl sites.

The Winery

Landerer

Weingut Landerer – this is Burgundy that tastes of volcanic soil. Literally. At the Kaiserstuhl, where ancient volcanic rock forms the soil, the Landerer family has been cultivating their vines for generations. The Kirchberg, Eichberg, and Henkenberg sites give the wines something that cannot be made – it must be allowed. Johannes Landerer understood this early on.

At 17, he planted his first own vineyard, experimented in the barren rock, and developed his own style. In 2016, after the sudden death of his father Thomas, he took over the winery – a heavy burden that he carries with respect and passion. What drives him: that you can really taste in the glass where the wine comes from.

Vintage, soil, microclimate – everything should be palpable. For this, his team works close to nature, consciously reduces yields, and gives the grapes time to ripen. Wine that tells a story. People who listen.
