2022 Adams Wein Weissburgunder
- Light White
- Weissburgunder
- Rheinhessen, GER
- Dr Simone Adams | Adams Wein
If you’ve ever wondered why Pinot Blanc holds court alongside Chardonnay and Aligoté in Burgundy and Champagne, this wine is the answer. Dr. Simone Adams’ 2022 Weissburgunder is bright and focused, exuding citrus blossom, lemon peel, and white cherry up front, with layers of yellow peach, pear compote and melon rolling down the back. It’s got this creamy texture that feels lush for a moment - then boom, the acidity kicks in and everything tightens up a bit. Salty, structured, and full of mineral detail. There’s heaps going on flavour-wise: green walnuts, fresh herbs like tarragon and chervil, flint and smoke too. This one comes from two plots: one clay-heavy and east-facing, one west-facing with more limestone, giving the wine both its depth and that salty snap of minerality. Aged for a year on lees (steel and oak), it’s got good grip as well. If you’re partial to a bit of Chardonnay, this one’s going to hit the mark.
