Erstes Gewächs

2004 Rheingau Pinot Noir

Weingut J. Koegler Erstes Gewächs is an exceptional expression of Pinot Noir from the renowned Rheingau region, showcasing the delicate artistry of Old-World wine craftsmanship. This 2004 vintage reveals a stunning deep crimson color that hints at the rich flavors within. On the palate, it offers a medium body that is beautifully balanced with a bright acidity, giving it a lively character. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of ripe red berries and subtle underlying complexities of earthiness, adding depth to every sip. The tannins are notably firm yet refined, providing structure while lingering gracefully on the finish. As a dry wine, it is perfectly suited for a variety of occasions, making it a delightful choice for both casual gatherings and special celebrations.

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).
