Spätburgunder “Ritti” 2020

Wine information
Der Hang “In der Ritti”, auf dem dieser Wein gewachsen ist, thront hoch über der Isteiner Kirche. Der Hang wird erst spät am Tag von der Sonne erreicht, wodurch die morgendlichen Temperaturen kühler bleiben. Eine dünne Schicht Löss ruht auf dem blanken Fels darunter.
Colour
It is a deep garnet red with violet hues that lighten towards the edge of the wine.
Smell
The 2020 "Ritti" Pinot Noir enchants with its scent of sweet black cherries and plums, followed by fine dark chocolate, wild herbs and rustic notes of tobacco, forest floor and cedar. A floral touch accompanies the fine mineral notes, resulting in a harmonious overall experience.
Taste
The palate shows an impressive complexity, emerging with strong intensity and fine finesse at the same time. The juicy, almost sweet fruit shows all the attributes we appreciate so much in a Pinot Noir. Refreshing acidity and polished tannins create the way for an elegant wine that is excellent with food. Its finish is pleasantly long and encourages another sip with a salty note. A fantastic product!
This wine is excellent served slightly chilled from Burgundy glasses.
Food recommendations from me are pickled juniper vegetables on fresh homemade bread, traditional beef goulash with a side trio of lemon emmer, beetroot and bread dumplings tossed in butter, and the finest venison medallions on a bed of Brussels sprouts and chestnuts, served with homemade spaetzle.
