Hailing from Baden, Germany’s great Pinot Noir region, this is only reminiscent of Burgundy in its elegance as the soil in Baden is mostly sandstone rather than limestone. However, this 2021 Pinot Noir is far better than most Burgundy at this price and illustrates why German Spätburgunder (the German name for Pinot Noir) is the Pinot Noir we should all be drinking. An aromatic, enticing nose of sour red cherry, plum and baking spice follows through to the silky, bright palate. Exuberant fruit and a touch of minerality show good concentration while remaining ethereal and delicate.
