Chardonnay grown on chalk in the Pfalz, raised in old neutral oak by one of Germany's great traditionalist housesâthis is Chablis-lover bait from an unexpected zip code. Koehler-Ruprecht, in the village of Kallstadt, has been making bone-dry wines since long before dry was fashionable, aging everything in big old casks that add texture without a whiff of vanilla. The fruit here comes off the limestone-and-sandstone Annaberg site, and the 'Kabinett Trocken' on the label is the estate's own house shorthand for a dry, lighter-framed bottlingânot a sweet wine. The result is crisp, mineral, and honest, an everyday white with more soul than its modest station suggests.
