The 2021er Pinot Noir is made from 80% destemmed fruit picked in the Zeltinger Himmelreich and was fermented and aged in 30% new Barrique (Tonnellerie Rousseau) and 70% used Barrique, among others from leading Burgundy growers, for 12 months before being bottled unfiltered. This bright-brick-red-colored wine offers a superb nose made of strawberry, cooked raspberry, a hint of soy sauce, and very fine spices. The wine proves superbly silky and loaded with succulent ripe red currant fruits on the medium dense palate. A hint of tart zesty elements then come through and add a superb “Mosel” touch to this very elegant and pure expression of Pinot Noir. This wine can be enjoyed mindlessly and offers quite some subtlety and complexity. Now-2028
