Weingut Jürgen von der Mark Baden pinot noir engertstein 2021

Spätburgunder from Baden

Bright red hue with some evolution and a beautiful aroma of ripe cherries, herbs and oak. The taste is elegant and balanced in structure with a persistent aftertaste of ripe red fruit and vanilla notes. Delicious wine with not too spicy poultry, veal or vegetable dishes.

High quality Pinot Noir is no longer synonymous with the cradle of Burgundy. The German Spätburgunders from the talented winemaker and Master of Wine Jürgen von der Mark in Baden also prove this. He now owns 8 hectares of land, the vast majority of which is planted with Spätburgunder.

For this wine, Jürgen selects grapes from a vineyard with limestone soil on the Tuniberg, a hill just south of the imposing Kaiserstuhl mountains. Engertstein is a reference to the old name of this region. The vineyard management is done according to organic principles and Jürgen harvests the grapes by hand.

After fermentation, the wine matures for about 15 months in small wooden barrels, 10% of which are new. The seductive, roasted aroma of the oak is beautifully intertwined with the refined, red fruit aromas of the Spätburgunder.

The 2016 harvest is now showing excellent results, but will continue to develop in the bottle over the next 2 to 3 years. This is top class red wine that rivals luxury Burgundies, but at a fraction of the price. The better German winemakers are the new players in the high-quality Pinot Noir market.
