Huber Bienenberg Spätburgunder GG Baden

Baden QbA, Germany
Grosses Gewächs Spätburgunder from the Bienenberg's limestone and loess — elegant, Burgundy-benchmark quality. Red cherry, raspberry, silky tannins, subtle oak, and a mineral freshness that evolves over 10+ years. Germany's most celebrated red.

The GG's Burgundian elegance mirrors the classic French preparation — red fruit and silky tannins lift the chicken perfectly.
