Grosses Gewächs

Medium

Cork

The Hecklinger Schlossberg vineyard’s steep terraces face the Rhine Valley. The soils are composed of weathered shell limestone – a natural home for Spätburgunder, where it reaches its finest expression. This is evident in the juicy blueberry fruit, rather than cherry, which is clear, precise and polished. Julian Huber has recently reduced whole-cluster fermentation to such an extent that green spice now remains only as a background note, supported by subtle hints of oak, coffee and dark chocolate. The tannins are fine-grained, gliding smoothly into the endless finish.

Pinot Noir / Pinot Nero
