Lohpfad, Chardonnay, 2022

Ripe lemon and citrus with a fresh salted butter and cool white stony feel, the Lohpfad has a good deal of concentration and driving acidity through to a nice, cooling finish. Lohpfad is a small parcel within the Ingelheimer Schlossberg, facing southeast. It is characterised by clay marl in the subsoil and an upper layer of loam. It is the highest and technically coolest site that Adams works with, though it is protected by trees, and sees a fraction of the wind that the Auf dem Haun receives, so the jury is out as to which is really the cooler. Raised for a year in oak, 20% new.
