Malterdinger, Spätburgunder, 2014
Flowers, fine red cherry and pale wild strawberries define this elegant, red fruited Pinot. On the palate its all purity; restrained, rose hip infused red fruit allied to classical Huber energy. Fine boned, fresh, exceptionally pure and no hint of oak....this extremely well made and both refreshing and satisfying.
critic reviews
From 22-year-old vines on loess and shell limestone soils, the cherry colored 2014 Malterdinger Spatburgunder trocken opens with a very clear, bright and spicy bouquet of wild red berries, cherries and beautiful earthy flavors. Medium to full-bodied, fruit-intense and vital on the palate, this is a very elegant, aromatic and silky textured Pinot in perfect balance. The acidity is remarkably fine and the finish, though still a very little bit reductive, is pure, dry, fresh and beautifully aromatic. This is an impressive village wine from Baden's Breisgau subregion. There is just a hint of toast and mocha flavors in the aftertaste.
