In the glass
Colour
Deep, elegant garnet red.
Nose
Beautifully matured bouquet with soft fruit of lingonberries, figs, cherries and wild raspberries, accompanied by forest foliage, tree bark, a hint of graphite and wood smoke.
Palate
Lively and fresh with invigorating Pinot acidity, delicate fruit sweetness and a seductive, cool pull — never loud, always clear and honest.
Character
Ripe, subtle finesse: a precise, straightforward Spätburgunder with composure and elegance — dry, offering fantastic value for money.
Pairing
Pairs well with duck breast, mushroom dishes such as chanterelles or porcini, and game meat.
Notes
Certified organic artisan wine: hand-harvested, spontaneous fermentation with 20% whole bunches, 12 months' ageing in barriques (20% new wood), no sulphur in the vineyard, minimal sulphuring at bottling, unfiltered.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Deep, elegant garnet red – of almost Burgundian restraint, without any dark heaviness.
Nose
A bouquet of quiet grandeur: soft lingonberries, figs, cherries and wild raspberries meet forest foliage and tree bark, accompanied by a whisper of graphite and wood smoke. Ripeness and finesse, entirely without ostentation.
Palate
Lively and feather-light, it glides across the tongue, carried by invigorating Pinot acidity and a fine, almost secretive fruit sweetness. Never loud, never opulent – clear, honest and of impressive precision.
Finish
Long and coolly mineral, with an aftertaste of red berries and delicate spice that lets the glass speak far longer than the 13 per cent would suggest.
Terroir & origin
The vines are rooted in the warm loess at the southern tip of the Tuniberg near Freiburg, which stores the sun’s warmth and combines power with finesse. Klaus and Maj Britt Vorgrimmler have farmed their 3.2 hectares organically since 1985 and biodynamically since 2006; alfalfa, buckwheat and clover enliven the soil between the vine rows.
Grape variety & vinification
An assemblage of various Burgundy clones, hand-harvested at low yields. Twenty per cent whole bunches, open-vat fermentation with the wild yeasts from their own vineyards, gentle pigeage, followed by twelve months in barriques with 20 per cent new wood.
Food recommendations
Wonderful with pan-fried duck breast with cherry jus, saddle of venison with wild mushrooms, a hearty mushroom risotto or mature Comté.
Special features
A Spätburgunder that defines greatness through mastery rather than power: bottled unfiltered, grown entirely without sulphur in the vineyard and only minimally sulphured – a wine of rare honesty at a remarkably fair price.
