Ziereisen's 2018 Jaspis Spätburgunder Bürgin—formerly known as Alte Reben—offers the best that old, reliable lots of crop-yielding German and Swiss Pinot Noir clones can deliver today, 50 to 60 years later. If planted in stony soils, like here in Jurassic limestone, the crop was reduced by nature. The bouquet is very charming in its pure and elegant cherry and red fruit aromas that intermingle with refreshing limestone notes and very fine phenols. Gentle, refined and highly elegant on the palate, this is a dry but round and toward the finish savory, fresh, saline, astringent and chalky red with remarkable finesse and intensity on the long and aromatic finish. Coming from an extraordinary warm, dry vintage, the 2018 is not just one of the finest Pinot Noir I have had from Hanspeter and Edeltraud Ziereisen in almost 20 years, it is also one of the finest I have tasted this year from my regions. It aged in barrels for 2.5 years. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered, like all the Jaspis wines, in August this year. 13.5% stated alcohol. Premium natural cork. Tasted in November 2022.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.

Country: Germany

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
