Wasenhaus 2024 Spätburgunder Kalk (Arrives 8/6) 1 btl limit per customer

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
