Pinot Noir - Grosshöflein – 2021

This Pinot Noir impresses with aromas of red berries, tobacco, and fresh herbs. A well-supported acidity and fine tannins give the wine complexity and structure.

The vines grow on clay-rich black soil on shell limestone. The east-facing slope of the Fölligberg and the old age of the vines, up to 46 years, contribute to the exceptional quality of the grapes. Gentle pruning and the use of organic compost promote healthy growth.

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a 4-day cold maceration, followed by gentle pressing. Spontaneous fermentation takes place for 18 days on the skins. The wine matures for 16 months in used 500-liter barrels (tonneaux) and then ages for another 6 months in the bottle.

Optimal drinking temperature: 16 - 18 °C. This wine pairs excellently with veal, Coq au Vin, and roasted pigeon.
