About This Wine
Franz Keller
Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir)
German Pinot Noir, known there as Spätburgunder, is criminally under-appreciated. This wine is from the German region Kaiserstuhl, which lies in the wine region of Baden. The producer of this wine is the authentic winery, Franz Keller. Keller is a specialist in 'Burgundersorten,' so the Pinots and Chardonnay. These wines mature in their best barrels, and all have a unique character, potential, and finesse — truly unique grand crus! Coming from the Eichberg vineyard, a plot located in the bottom half of this vineyard was planted in 1994 by Fritz Keller using only Pinot Noir clones from Burgundy. The dark volcanic soil leads to a distinctive, rather masculine Pinot Noir that is powerful and animated.

Cherry
Oak is present, but pleasant at the moment, despite its youth. Powerful wine with fine tannins and a long, concentrated finish. Can be stored for quite a few more years, which will make this powerhouse even more beautiful.
