Wasenhaus 'Kanzel' Spatburgunder 2022 [1 per customer]

Wasenhaus 'Kanzel' Spatburgunder 2022 [1 per customer]Notes from the importer: A Pinot Noir on limestone clay soil grown on the Ehrenstetter Olberg. The Kanzel is a part of the old Olberg with a slighter more east orientation as the Mhlin, directly on the top of a limestone cliff. This vineyard is a bit colder and less exposed to the sun, half is from a French selection massale planted by Dr. Henrik Mobitz and half from old vines from German clones. Fermentation with 40 % whole clusters, in the beginning

and great length

A Pinot Noir on partially very shallow and poor limestone clay soil grown on the Ehrenstetter Olberg with a more southeast exposure than the Kanzel

where many looked to Bordeaux

hazelnut and just a little cheese rind

starting with the extremely floral almost melon-like character of fermented rice

many decades of selling from their cellar door meant that 95% of the wines went to private clients

and today only 2-3 producers make Colares

Refreshing

centenarian vines of Listan Blanco and Listan Negro organically since the inception of the winery

Snappy and sanguine with rhubarb

this is perhaps the most “funky” wine in the line up this month

One winemakers that’s been leading the charge of this new and refreshing movement is Rodrigo Filipe
