Andreas Bender, Pinot Noir 2024, Pfalz
Out of stock
The Pfalz lies between the Haardt Mountains and the River Rhine in southwest Germany, just north of the Alsace. Like Alsace, the mountains protect the area from cold and wet Atlantic weather, making it one of the warmer and drier areas of Germany. Grapes do well here and it’s possible to ripen red varietals consistently. The Pinot Noir for this wine is sourced from a single, south-facing vineyard in the Haardt mountains. Winemaking is low intervention. Fermentation with natural yeasts in old oak barrels. The wine then matures in a combination of French and American oak barriques.
Bright aromas of red fruits and subtle spicy notes. Balanced and well-structured on the palate with soft tannins and a long finish.
