Description
This is a new village level red wine that is once again principally from the limestone rich soils of Kallstadt. As an intro to the estate’s Pinot Noir program, sounds like a winner to me……
“From younger vines in Leistadt and Kallstadt (French and German clones and massal selections), the 2018 Spätburgunder Vom Kalkfels offers a clear, fresh and juicy bouquet of cherries and dark berries along with fine toasty notes. Silky textured and delicate on the palate, this a very fine, fresh, precise and elegant Pinot in a coolish, lean, straight and refreshing style. Aged for 15 months in Burgundian pièces (30% of which were new) and racked into stainless steel tanks in January this year, the 2018 was scheduled to be bottled unfiltered in summer this year. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in March and in Bremen in April 2020. Release date: December 2020.” 90-91 Stephan Reinhardt
