Malterdingen 'Alte Reben' Spätburgunder

Good Hombre Wine Verified independent store

→

From sites located directly adjacent to Julian's Bienenberg GG vines, this old vine Pinot Noir is destemmed, and is aged in Burgundian barriques (30% new) for 16 months. An intense and deep nose of dark cherry, smoke, black pepper, tilled earth, and graphite minerality. Structured, juicy, hedonistic. Julian Huber, who now helms his late, great father, Bernhard Huber's winery, is considered by some of the most respected voices in wine culture to b a benchmark in fine Spätburgunder (aka Pinot Noir) and Chardonnay production not just in Germany, but throughout Europe. His Grosses Gewächs/GG (aka Grand Cru) bottlings of Chardonnay sell out almost instantly, and his GG Pinot Noirs are spoken of in hushed tones of reverence. 13.5% ABV Show more
