An incredible wine, soaring right out of the gate. I hate to start off comparing great Pinot Noir from anywhere in the world to Burgundy instead of touting it purely on its own merits, but in this case, the exercise is apt—their terroir and meticulous winemaking are on par with the greatest French counterparts.
The grapes are 25-year-old German clones mixed with young French sélection massale vines, sourced from a single plot of south-facing, mid-slope limestone and clay soils.
Sixty percent of the grapes are destemmed, fermented with wild yeasts with minimal punch-downs, lightly pressed after two weeks into 40% new French oak barrels, with older barrels sourced from DRC. Wines are gravity-fed, not fined or filtered, with minimal sulfur added at bottling.
Youthful strawberries and cranberries compete with salty, limestone minerality on the nose, supported by taut acidity and fine, velvet tannins. Already earthy, with mushroom, black pepper, stones, and a kiss of sweet oak on the lingering finish. Drink it, cellar it, blind your friends—you'll thank me later.

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!
