Bockenheimer Schlossberg
WONGSIRI · Chardonnay
“Other chardonnays I particularly liked at the dinner include a tense mineral 2022 WongSiri Bockenheimer Schlossberg …”
Eric Asimov, The New York Times
The Bockenheimer Schlossberg is shaped by calcareous loess and loam soils, sheltered slopes and cooler, sandy valley cuts. It is the warmest site in the WongSiri portfolio – the sunny spot, so to speak, among our Chardonnays. The wines are juicy and substantial, with ripe yellow fruit, fine phenolics and a calm, supple texture. A quiet elegance completes the picture.
The 2022 Schlossberg Chardonnay is the last vintage from these 80-year-old vines: the vineyard was cleared after the harvest. With foresight, another parcel in the Schlossberg had already been replanted in 2021.
