Grohl Spatburgunder Rheinhessen 2021

Gutswein / 100% Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir)/ organic in conversion / 12.5% alc. / 2.1 g/L RS / 5.2 g/L acidity

Hand-harvested, young vines in Dahlheim, some in Weinolsheim, mostly from loess and clay soils, completely destemmed, no new oak barrels, the normal barrel for this wine is Stückfäss (bought by Johannes’ grandfather). Johannes’s first full vintage was in 2020, but he seems to have had an influence here. There’s a modern elegance to this Pinot Noir. Lovely forest berry, violet aroma. Johannes Gröhl spent time honing skills as a Riesling and Spätburgunder specialist at Weingüter Rings and Philipp Kuhn in the Pfalz, and Matthias Knebel in the Terrassenmosel.
