This super-fragrant and super-elegant pinot noir shows what greatness and beauty the very best winemakers of Germany are now achieving with this grape. The combination of concentration, finesse and and freshness is already compelling, and the wine is only just beginning to spread its wide wings. Then, when you think you understand all of this, the fine tannins gently build to a crescendo at the almost endless finish. And yet, even there, the whole seems so delicate. Drink from release.
Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
Country Germany
As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.

The 2022 Spätburgunder Schlossberg GG is airy, ethereal and beautiful on the nose and the essence of Pinot and Schlossberg rather than materialized or textured wine, with ripe cherries, red berries, woodruff, underwood, toast, redcurrant, crushed stones and wet earth. The wine cannot become greater on the palate than it is on the nose you think, and then you take a sip and get a silky, velvety texture, great intensity and energy, fleshy, now materialized fruit, even sensuality, crunchy tannins and a long, intense yet ethereal umami finish. Absolutely fabulous. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.
