The 2022 Spätburgunder Kalk from the Wasenhaus winery is an impressive German Pinot Noir that combines the grape variety's unmistakable elegance with the pronounced minerality of calcareous soils. The grapes come from 40-year-old vines in select parcels in the Markgräflerland region, growing on weathered limestone soils that impart the wine's distinctive character.
In the glass, the Pinot Noir shines with a vibrant red color. The nose is characterized by dark berry aromas, subtly underscored by a stony and chalky note. On the palate, delicate, soft fruit is revealed, complemented by fine herbal and ethereal nuances. The elegant structure is rounded off by precise, structuring acidity and velvety tannins. The chalky soil imparts additional depth and finesse to the wine.
A versatile food companion, particularly well-suited to grilled meats, game dishes, or hearty mushroom dishes. The 2022 Spätburgunder Kalk impresses with its harmony, complexity, and exceptional elegance, making it the perfect choice for connoisseurs who appreciate the interplay of terroir and craftsmanship.
The Wasenhaus winery, founded by Alexander Götze and Christoph Wolber, stands for first-class, handcrafted wines from the Markgräflerland region. Both winemakers gained extensive experience at renowned Burgundy wineries before launching their own project in 2016.
