VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS 2023 HERRENBERG Spätburgunder

Location:

The name Herrenberg refers to the Lords of Saffenburg, to whose estate the village of Rech belonged and who established their vineyards in this prime location. The vineyard is situated below the rocky outcrop of the Schwedenkopf. The southern part of the site, opposite the Saffenburg ruins, is terraced. With its slate weathered soil with greywacke, the centrally south-facing steep slope, with an inclination of up to 60%, offers excellent conditions for optimal utilization of solar energy.

Vinification:

The hand-picked and strictly selected Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) fermented for 17 days in the mash tank. Malolactic fermentation took place in barriques. The Recher Herrenberg was aged and stored for 18 months in 35% new barriques.

Unfiltered, we recommend decanting.

Tasting Notes:

Cool scent of minerals. Pure, ripe fruit with roasted notes, firm tannins, mineral on the palate, dense and powerful, long and persistent finish.
