This was a silver medallist in the Decanter World Wine Awards 2018. At about £20 a bottle it needs to good but there are a few issues
- Its German – people still think Blue Nunn in the UK
- Its £20 plus
- German Pinot Noir is not readily available in the UK supermarkets where a lot of wine is purchased
But this comes from the Mosel and they know how to make great wine. The colour is ruby, its starting to age a bit and smells of red cherries, sweet spices and has a bit of woody/pine notes. This is a lovely light wine, pretty smooth and dry but it does have acidity in there, a little more than you may expect. Flavours of red berries, light oak and hints of vanilla, pepper and smoke, make this an elegant wine that we opened a little early but still really enjoyed. Put it with chicken or pork once its about 8-10 years old to get the best of it.
You may think what’s the kettle got to do with the wine, absolutely nothing.
