Oppenheim Chardonnay Old Vines dry QW Rheinhessen

Chardonnay from Oppenheim is no coincidence — the calcareous soils of the Rhine front give the grape variety exactly what it needs: minerality, tension, structure. Kühling-Gillot, one of the most well-known organic wineries in Rheinhessen, vinifies this wine from old vines that are deeply rooted in the limestone marl soils of the Oppenheim sites.

In the glass, the Chardonnay shows a clear, yellow-gold color. In the nose, ripe pear, a hint of white peach, and a subtle creamy note. On the palate, it feels full-bodied without appearing heavy — the acidity keeps the wine lively, the finish is long and characterized by fine minerality.

Good with veal medallions with herb butter, with pasta with truffle oil, or with a strong fish dish like zander on leek vegetables. It also cuts a fine figure with a mature Comté or Gruyère. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.
