2024 Seckinger Maikammer Kapellenberg Chardonnay

Seckinger’s 2024 Maikammer Kapellenberg Chardonnay is a dry white wine from the southern Pfalz, where substantial limestone and clay soils give this site its distinctive character. Bottled under the estate’s Grosse Lage designation, it offers a German interpretation of Chardonnay shaped by both vineyard identity and patient cellar work.

The producer describes the 2024 with citrus and mirabelle plum, deeper spice, graphite and a subtle popcorn-like reduction. Fermentation and maturation in oak, including 100% new wood for Kapellenberg, contribute texture and structure. The result is a concentrated wine with a savoury edge, lively tension and a persistent finish, balancing the grape’s natural generosity with a clear sense of freshness.

Serve around 12–14°C in a generous white-wine glass and allow some time for the aromas to open. We suggest pairing it with roast chicken, pan-seared scallops, turbot with a light butter sauce, or a mushroom and herb risotto. This 750 ml bottle is a compelling choice for Chardonnay enthusiasts exploring the distinctive vineyard wines of contemporary Germany.
