Tasting note:

The Ihringen Vorderer Winklerberg Spätburguder GG 2020 is profound, pure, refined and fresh, but also intense on the nose with aromas of ripe cherries. On the palate, it is silky, refined and fresh, a refined, elegant, intense and juicy Pinot from weathered volcanic rock. It is a dense, savoury and finely tannic Pinot with ripe, intense and very charming fruit and a long, intense and aromatic finish. 13.5% vol. Alcohol.

Dr Heger Winery:

At the end of the 1980s, Joachim Heger began to produce Pinot Noir with a seriousness previously unknown in Germany. Over the decades that followed, his wines, both white and red, developed a terroir focus that was once again trend-setting. In the meantime, the daughters (4th generation) are increasingly taking over the management of the winery, and they too are now setting out to move forward: towards wines that appear lighter and fresher, without giving up seriousness and terroir reference. The new wines show how successful the sisters have already been on this path.
