"It was during my time abroad that I realised what advantages we have here in Germany, right on our doorstep: climate allows us to make elegant, filigree wines. Pinot Noir should be fine and lithe, balanced, but also have power and density."

"-Tender red fruit is hinted at on the nose. Palate is incredibly spicy, with peppery verve amid tart redcurrant, aromatic cherry and bright cranberry. Lively, fresh and pure. The body is translucent and slender, fresh and vivid. Great depth becomes evident on the long, peppery finish."
