2022 Spätburgunder Tradition Dry

Our Spätburgunder Tradition grows in Briedel, where my parents planted the vines in the early 90s – and every year since, we've kept refining it. Hand-harvested, organically farmed, traditionally fermented open on the skins and aged in Grandpa's old, large wooden cask. This bottle is a late release of the 2022, having spent a little extra time in the barrel.

In the glass it shines a fresh ruby red, with wild berries and morello cherry on the nose. On the palate it's lively and cheerful, with lovely, lasting structure and silky tannin. We love it lightly chilled in summer, and in autumn and winter it's among our favourites – it even has a rather calming, captivating effect on me personally.

An absolute price-to-quality standout for any Spätburgunder lover: you won't easily find this kind of value anywhere else. Spätburgunder, incidentally, is the German name for the world-famous Pinot Noir – and along the Mosel it grows on slate soils rarely found elsewhere.
