Producer

Stepp

A lightish Pinot Noir, with restrained aromas of red fruits and blackcurrant cordial. This wine is smooth and very moreish, with a long raspberry finish. The warm climate of the Pfalz makes it the best region for Pinot Noir in Germany. Grapes came from selected terraced vineyards on limestone and coloured sandstone soils. Harvested by hand, the grapes were fermented in open-top fermenters with manual punch downs carried out two to three times a day. Malolactic fermentation and maturation for 12 months were carried out in oak barrels, with one third in new French oak and the balance in second and third filled barrels.
