Wasenhaus 2024 Spätburgunder Kalk 1.5L (Arrives 8/6)

Kalk largely comes from one new parcel in the town of Ebringen, about ten minutes north of Wasenhaus. Yet the name, which translates to chalk, says what’s really important: the soil. I loved the wine; it has some of the character of Bellen (Bellen is also limestone soils and a bit of grapes from Bellen went in here), yet perhaps it’s more bouncy. Let’s see.

This Pinot noir is a blend from multiple plots but all on limestone soil, situated in the Markgraflerland. A major part of the vines is older than 40 years and the fruit was fermented as 40% whole cluster in an open top fermenter for 18 days. 16 months ageing in mainly used barrels. -Vom Boden
