Our older vintages
Pinot Noir
Blauburgunder
2018
Opens with some smokey leafy spice, followed by wood-berries, plums and cherries as well as flowery tones; on the palate, pleasantly dry, opens softly with hints of typical red fruit (see above), before it shows its nice backbone formed of supporting acidity, juvenile grip and a long spicy finish.
This Blauburgunder was made with the ripest Pinot Noir grapes, especially from the top vineyards Dechant and Käferberg.
