About this product
Germany's most celebrated Pinot Noir from the limestone-loess Bienenberg vineyard in Malterdingen, Baden. The Großes Gewächs designation (Germany's finest classification) signals the pinnacle of quality: translucent ruby with aromas of sour cherry, iron ore, dried rose, and forest floor that recall fine Gevrey-Chambertin. The palate is Burgundian in its precision — silky, tensile tannins, electric acidity, and a mineral-edged finish of singular elegance.
