STEPP Pinot Noir Single Cru Case: 3 bottles each:-C326, 2023

The Pfalz is an exciting region for Pinot Noir. This mixed case is a fantastic opportunity to discover two top-quality expressions. The Herxheimer Himmelreich vineyard, with its sun-drenched sandstone slopes, brings depth and vibrancy. The Herxheim Am Berg Réserve cuvée comes from a single vineyard within this site: the historic Kirschgarten vineyard. It benefits from a warm, sheltered terroir, enhancing its richness and intensity.

STEPP PINOT NOIR RÉSERVE HERXHEIM AM BERG, PFALZ, SINGLE CRU, 2023

A full-bodied, plush style of Pinot Noir with lots of ripe red fruit, baking spice and subtle oaked nuances. The palate is
rich and warming with mocha and spice complementing the juicy red fruit. Fresh acidity and fine tannins provide good moderate term ageability, while its silky texture makes it approachable now. 2026-2032–JB

STEPP PINOT NOIR HIMMELREICH (HERXHEIMER), PFALZ, SINGLE CRU, 2023

Bright and structured, this full-bodied Pinot Noir opens with tangy red and dark fruit, complemented by spiced and herbal
nuances. The brisk acidity and firm yet fine tannins create a refined tension leading to a long, firm finish. Needs a little time to soften and harmonize further. Very elegant. 2027-2033–JB
