Germany

Grosses Gewächs

Medium

Cork

The first whiff of flinty reduction gives way to an emollient yet fresh creaminess that holds aromatic notions of peony and smoky cherry. The palate is bright, fresh and crunchy - in a distinct rejection of what the Kaiserstuhl used to stand for. This is the new Baden: taut, precise, stony and fresh. The Eichberg with its mix of basaltic volcanic formations underneath a thin loess topsoil seems to give a racy energy to this and Friedrich Keller made sure to capture the fruit at a point of vivid freshness. The elderberry finish is lovely, lasting and aromatic.

Pinot Noir / Pinot Nero
