What I love about Johannes is his modest tasting notes, when the wine in the glass is far more than what the words may read. Blimey this is ripping Chardonnay! Yep, a bit of reduction here, but what truly great Chardonnay is without it. Grapefruit pith, lemon balm and frangipani are along for the ride. It's a glorious and vibrant palate here, riddled with lemon curd, gold apple and kiwi fruit. Lifted acid takes this into the next level. Drinks well out of it's weight class. Delicious.

About Kopp
Johannes Kopp is the 2nd Generation of the Kopp Estate, taking over the family vineyard and winery at just 22 in 2012. Since then, he's grown the vineyard holdings to 32ha and has converted all the vineyards to be Demeter certified bio-dynamic. Johannes and his partner Alina focus their effort on crafting great Spatburgunder, alongside Chardonnay, Weissburgunder and of course Riesling. Through these varieties, they hope to showcase the incredible diversity of soil that occurs in their unique pocket of the world.
