Weingut Schnaitmann, Steinwiege Pinot Noir Trocken, 2017 – Half-bottle

The ‘Steinwiege’ wines exhibit their terroir and grape variety, with great definition and purity. His most famous vineyard is the Fellbacher Lämmler, the top wines are designated ‘Fellbacher Lämmler’, where almond trees were formerly planted. His winemaking is fully biological, although Rainer hasn’t shown an interest in organic certification.

The aroma reveals itself in the form of sour cherries, morello cherries, blueberries and cassis. Violets, fresh boletus, undergrowth, as well as notes of laurel and juniper refine the bouquet. On the palate, it presents itself with stimulating acidity and silky tannins, rounded off with a full fruit body, classy Pinot spice and beautiful length.
