Bernhard Huber was nicknamed the Godfather of German Pinot Noir - a great friend of Jacques Seysses at Domaine Dujac, and a man whose wines were often mistaken for fine Burgundy. The Malterdingen estate sits on limestone soils similar to the Cote d'Or, in a cool corner of Baden where Cistercian monks from Burgundy planted Pinot some 700 years ago. Bernhard passed in 2014; son Julian now runs the show with quiet authority. This Alte Reben bottling pulls from seven parcels of 50-to-70-year-old vines, ages 16 months in fuder, with only a small portion new, and consistently sets the benchmark for German Pinot. The 2023 is mouth-filling, juicy, elegant - and built to age for 15 years or more.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Duck breast with cherry, roast pork loin, mushroom-laden pasta, grilled quail, or aged Gruyere. The juicy fruit handles weeknight meals; the structure rewards a special-occasion roast.

Tasting Profile

Medium-to-full bodied. Blackcurrant, red cherry, dried leaves, hint of toast, and peppery spice. Fine, spicy tannins, saline lift, mouth-filling yet elegant, with serious aging potential ahead.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
