Vines for this bottling range from 20 to 65 years old, since much of the low-yielding Chardonnay then in Baden was replaced in the 1950s. The little that remained forms the basis of Huber’s Bienenberg Grosses Gewächs Chardonnay. The deep-rooted older vines bring a great minerality, while the younger vines bring elegance and freshness. Vinification was in one third new and two-thirds used French oak barriques with 22 months’ maturation on full lees. Just 1.0g/L residual sugar. Caro Maurer MW: Smoky, candied citrus fruits, wood spice and wet stone with a salty note. Tightly interwoven now, but the impressive length hints at a great future. Svetoslav Manolev MS: Moderate intensity on the nose, aromas of apple tart and vanilla custard. Some reduction. Dry, with elevated acidity. Marcel Orford-Williams: Full-flavoured, fat and rich, but steely with positive structure, great fruit, good length and some finesse.
