E. Maria Gerhardt Spätburgunder

2012 Rheinhessen Pinot Noir

The E. Maria Gerhardt Weinkelleri E. Maria Gerhardt Spätburgunder is a captivating expression of Pinot Noir hailing from the esteemed Rheinhessen region. This 2012 vintage showcases a beautifully deep red color that hints at its complexity. On the palate, it displays a medium body with a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity that enhances its fresh red fruit flavors, creating an elegant balance. The tannins are soft yet notable, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's finesse. This Spätburgunder is dry, allowing the luscious notes of cherry and raspberry to shine through, complemented by subtle hints of earthy undertones, making it a delightful choice for both casual gatherings and more refined occasions.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
