Description
What kind of wine is it
Spätburgunder Kalk is a still red wine from Germany, made from Pinot Noir grapes by Wasenhaus. This Landwein displays a ruby red colour and an aromatic bouquet dominated by red fruit aromas and delicate hints of violet. On the palate, it is dynamic and mineral, offering an elegant drinkability that enhances pairings with pasta dishes with ragù, pork and cheeses.
Where does it come from
This red originates in Germany, in the Württemberg region, an area renowned for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. The vines grow on limestone-based soils, a key feature that inspires the label's name and imparts a savoury character to the final product. Wasenhaus works in harmony with these vineyards, promoting a non-interventionist approach that respects the natural tendencies of the land. The interaction between this microclimate and the roots results in a tense flavour progression, delivering a precise expression of the terroir.
How is it produced
The production of this red wine is based on a low technological impact agricultural approach, respecting the original characteristics of the raw material. After harvesting, the Pinot Noir bunches are sent for vinification in stainless steel. The absence of wooden containers allows the purity of the fruit and the freshness of the aromas to remain unaltered. Thanks to this production method, the wine retains a pronounced linearity of flavour and an ageing potential that can extend beyond a decade.
History and Curiosities
The Pinot Noir Kalk 2023 from Wasenhaus originates in Württemberg (Germany) with an artisanal and low-tech philosophy. The grapes grow on limestone-based soils, which gives the wine its name. Vinification in stainless steel preserves the purity of this still red (13% vol.). With a score of 92/100 from James Suckling, the wine reflects the winery's non-interventionist approach, offering a mineral, dynamic profile closely linked to its place of origin.
