Dr. Heger 2019 Baden Tuniberg Pinot Noir

Hailing from Kaiserstuhl in southernmost Baden just a few miles from the border with Alsace, the region is all steep extinct volcanoes crowned with wild cacti. Burgundian varieties thrive here in this startlingly warm climate. The result, as produced by Joachim Heger on this combination of volcanic, loess and limestone soils are pinots of great minerality and juicy fruit. The new release 2019 that just landed is vibrant, ripe and a sheer joy to drink without much thought, whether on it's own or a with plethora of food choices. An ideal warm weather picnic wine, sunny and soulful! GH
