2023 Weingut Wasenhaus, Spatburgunder 'Bellen', Baden. Germany
$145.00
A Pinot Noir grown on limestone clay soil in Kirchhofen and Pfaffenweiler. Grown on steep slopes with a west orientation and worked mainly manual, the vines are French and German clones w/ some selection massale. Fermentation with 40% whole clusters with the German clonal material being left whole as the grapes are bigger and vines older. In the beginning as a carbonic maceration and afterwards in a classic open vat fermentation with some punch downs. Aged in mainly used French oak barrels for 16 months. This is as pure and elegant as it gets.
