This 2021 Talrain Blauer Spätburgunder (Blauer = Blue—traditional German Pinot Noir designation) from Hanspeter Ziereisen's unconventional Baden estate shows five-year maturity. Ziereisen, who left carpentry in 1991 to pursue winemaking in one of Germany's warmest regions, is known among German winemakers as a rebel pursuing high-quality Landwein movement. Baden's warm, sunny climate with rich limestone soils resembles Burgundy, creating conditions ideal for elegant Pinot Noir. The 2021 displays ripe cherry and plum with subtle earth, reflecting the warm vintage conditions and Ziereisen's minimal-intervention winemaking. The wine shows the elegance and freshness that distinguish fine Pinot from over-extraction. Ready now for current drinking with food or age 3-4 years further.

Robert Parker

"The 2021 Pinot Noir TR is from the Talrain parcel in Feuerbach that is located at 500 meters above sea level and based in yellow limestone topped with iron-rich clay. The wine opens with a pure, fresh and spicy, coolish and stony nose of ripe sour cherries. Lush but fresh and coolish, this is another spicy, nervy and straightforward Pinot Noir with a long, intense and tight, enormously spicy and salivating finish with a saline and crunchy aftertaste. This is an ambitious, silky textured and refreshing Pinot with tension, grip and character. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork."

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!
