This is a blend of 60% Chardonnay with 40% Elbling, and to some extent, this is what the wine tastes like. It has the stoney, essential quality, the punch of Elbling with a bit more of the glossy, quinine-like fruit of Chardonnay – a bit, but not much, of the curves of Chardonnay. It does have an elegance that the sharper edges of the Elbling miss. It is profoundly mineral and does have more than a subtle hint of “pure dolomite.”

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2023er Pure Dolomite (with L-Nr. 3-24) was a blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Elbling (30%), which underwent around 15% mash fermentation for 6 days, and was fermented and aged in 228-liter used oak barrels along natural lines, i.e. without any intervention and was bottled unfiltered and with little SO2 added (30 mg/l). It offers a superb nose made of pear, citrusy elements, star fruit, white flowers, and a dash of funk. The is beautifully precise and engaging on the palate, where the finely chiseled fruity side is wrapped in chalky elements. The finish is balanced, fresh, and packed with gorgeous but delicate flavors. This is a superb dry wine made to enjoy over the coming decade! | No. 76 July 2025 |
