Product description for Forgeurac Steinsatz, Badischer Landwein 2020

Wine Information

Steinsatz is an old Pinot Noir vineyard in Rauenberg in the Kraichgau region. The soil formation belongs to the Keuper region and is characterized by a combination of red claystone and limestone, which occurs as dolomite. The soil is extremely stony and rich in pebbles. The hard dolomite weathers very slowly, while the clay layers it contains are extremely rich in minerals and ensure a good supply for the vines. The 2020 vintage was fermented 100% from whole bunches. The grapes were briefly foot-mashed in small wooden vats and fermented on the skins with moderate pigeage for around three weeks. The Landwein was then pressed in an old basket press. The wine was drawn off via the broquereau using gravity. The wine was aged exclusively in used wooden barrels, primarily in barriques and pièces. No yeasts, no enzymes, no fining, and no filtration were used. Depending on the vintage, a maximum of 30 mg of sulphur was added.

Colour

Garnet red, black in the core with violet inclusions.

Nose

The aroma of the 2020 Steinsatz shows depth and a juicy and compact structure. Dark blackberries, cassis, plums, smoky notes, leather, and tobacco are reminiscent of the Côte de Nuits. At the same time, spicy notes of cinnamon and clove are noticeable. A juicy and sophisticated opening that is already charming and inviting on the nose.

Palate

It enchants the tongue with its juicy and dense character. Plenty of dark fruit meets cool minerality, ripe yet youthful tannins, and invigorating acidity. A beautiful wine with juicy fruit that appreciates the accompaniment of intensive cuisine. Very good aging potential! Decant and enjoy slightly chilled from Burgundy glasses.
