justerini & brooks tasting note

A cool yet aromatic profile sees laser cut notes of alpine red fruits alongside star anise, cinnamon, pepper and deep cherry. The palate feels richer than either Bienenberg or Sommerhalde, with plenty of mid palate fruit atop a firm core of cool white chalky minerality. This will need time to completely unravel itself such is the intensity and concentration on display. Schlossberg is a steeply terraced vineyard composed of pure white limestone directly south facing and planted entirely to French Pinot clones.

critic reviews

97/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Huber's 2022 Spatburgunder Schlossberg GG from Hecklingen is a gorgeous red wine that, along with Furst (Franken), is at the top of German Pinot Noir. The 2022 shows a deep color and cool nose with seductive cherry aromas, as well as fine spice, tobacco notes and mineral freshness. Powerful, intense and salty on the palate, with a silky texture and delicate lime minerality, this is an enormously powerful and potent (not alcoholic), intense, longer and longer Pinot with great substance. It's a colossal Pinot Noir, probably one of the best in German history since records began (at least on this platform here). Tasted at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewachs in Wiesbaden in August 2024.
