The 2019 A. Christmann Gimmeldinger Schlossel Spatburgunder is a beautifully crafted Pinot Noir from the Pfalz region of Germany. The wine pours a vibrant ruby-red colour in the glass. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly on the finish. This wine is a perfect example of the precision and finesse that German winemakers can bring to the notoriously fickle Pinot Noir grape. It would pair wonderfully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto.
Strawberry, spice, choc-hazelnut, nori. Medium-bodied, lots of energy, raspberry/strawberry with a gentle earthy character, open-weave chamois-like tannin, blood orange, nice and fresh, minerally too, with a gentle perfume on the long saline/savoury finish. Lovely wine. Love it.
