The Story
Wasenhaus Spatburgunder Kalk 2022
The first wine in their range of SpĂ€tburgunder wines (the German name for Pinot Noir) is a charmer and a terrific introduction to their serious range of reds. Like all of their Pinot Noirs, itâs fermented with natural yeasts. It also has 10% whole bunches in the mix along with the remainder destemmed during its gentle, infusion-style fermentation. The vineyards sites for it are south of Baden and within sight of Switzerlandâs beautiful town of Basel. Atypical for this region known for its heavier clays and marl (calcium carbonate mud stones), these vineyards are more limestone and sand. Other vineyard sources are grown on limestone and löess, a combination of soils that lends complexity and unexpected range to this wine. Itâs beautiful and should make it into your next order to at least give the wine a try.Â
