Wasenhaus Hohlen Chardonnay 2023 is for those who prefer a restrained, mineral Chardonnay over richer, oak-driven styles. It works for a focused dinner or when you want a precise white that stays fresh throughout the bottle. The reason to choose it: a cool-climate, limestone-driven expression with clarity and control rather than weight. From the Hohlen vineyard in Baden, on limestone-clay soils, it’s shaped by whole-bunch pressing, fermentation in used barrels, and aging on lees (one year in barrel, then six months in steel). Salty lemon, light herbal touch, slightly underripe apricot. Fine texture, delicate acidity, subtle salinity, long finish. A clean, composed Chardonnay that rewards attention.
