Thörle Saulheimer Kalkstein Spätburgunder

German bright red wine with the fresh aromatic scent of cherries and herbs and an elegant fruity taste. Nice wine with poultry or mild pasta dishes.

Pinot Noir from the Rheinhessen

Christoph and Johannes Thörle make incredibly tasty pinot noir in the northern part of Rheinhessen on limestone-rich soil.

Insiders regard the winery of the two talented brothers as the strongest emerging domain in Rheinhessen. Journalists from, among others, Wine Enthusiast Wine Advocate Gault & Millau and Feinschmecker follow developments closely and assess the Thörle wines extremely positively.

The grapes for this wine are harvested as late as possible - often only at the end of October - and picked by hand to obtain the best possible quality. Spätburgunder is a delicate grape and the time of harvest has a major influence on the style of the wine. The Thörle brothers seek finesse and an optimal balance between acidity, aromatic intensity and maturity.

After alcoholic fermentation, the wine ages for about ten months in used oak casks. The subdued wood aroma supports the refined fruit aromas and is beautifully dosed.

Truly a very nice Spätburgunder that will appeal to many Burgundy lovers, but also a nice introduction for pinot noir debutants.
