Spätburgunder Case

Creamy, full-bodied German pinot noir from a premier cru-rated vineyard around the historic village of Assmannshaus in the Rheingau. This is quite sensational with creamy richness

This estate in the northern part of the Palatinate has earned itself a reputation for its pinot noirs. Silky and round, this has gorgeous fruit flavours and a creamy texture, with a hint of bitter cherry on the finish.

A spâtburgunder offering raspberry, cranberry and red plum notes with hints of spice and bacon with an attractive juicy core and fine grained tannins. Stodden wines from the Ahr Valley are considered a showcase of just how good German pinot noir can be. Alexander Stodden, who is fifth generation, has a small estate of 10 hectares, 95% of which is focused on spatburgunder. The label makes reference to the historic bridge in Rech – home to their cellars – that was destroyed in the 2021 floods. This is the estate's entry spätburgunder with grapes coming from plots in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Dernau and Rech itself..

Our first-ever Exhibition Spätburgunder has been produced by a young winemaker in the Pfalz, Vincent Eymann from Weingut Eymann, whose estate has been working organically and biodynamically for many years. The 2022 vintage is generous, and this Spätburgunder is fruit forward, wonderfully expressive and juicy in style. Expect wild strawberries, cherries and plum notes combined with smoky hints that add additional layers.

Lots of crushed strawberry and smoky notes combined with refined pinot noir from Baden in southern Germany. Baden is earning itself some renown in the UK for its wines these days, particularly pinot noir. In the Markgräferland, between the Black Forest and the Rhine, the undulating countryside and warm summer weather has led to the area becoming known as the German Tuscany and there is a history of winemaking that goes back almost as long as in the more famous Italian region.

Weingut Eymann were trailblazers in Germany to work biodynamically. Young winemaker, Vincent Eymann is transforming the estate in the Pfalz to a producer of high quality and well made wines, as well as focusing on their environmental impact. A small amount of whole bunches in the fermentation produces a wine that is fresh and floral. The fruit is crunchy and juicy and is sourced from estate owned vineyards in the heart of the Gonnheim village. Pairs well with spiced lamb and bolognese.
