“Perfumed, gorgeous red fruits, including raspberry and dark cherry, are punctuated by earth, autumn leaves, and near-perfect acidity. The grapes are grown biodynamically in a mixture of sandstone and alluvial soils in the southern Pfalz.

Now there is a generation of winemakers producing riper, fuller bodied Pinot Noirs made in a modern style – and one which takes both Burgundy and New Zealand Pinot Noir styles into account. Winemaker Gerd Stepp is at the forefront of this cultural change and this fabulous Pinot Noir illustrates this in this savoury, smooth and finely tuned Pinot Noir, which tastes like the ultimate match with roast duck or aubergine and then again, is equally beautiful on its own. 

ABV: 13.5%
