Description

Product description for Franz Keller Schlossberg Achkarren Spätburgunder GG 2022

Information about the wine

The wine comes from the Achkarrer Schlossberg, which is characterized by black volcanic soil (tephrite). The plots are secured by dry-stone walls up to 4 meters high. The 20- to 30-year-old vines come from a mass selection. It was fermented spontaneously to 1.6 grams of residual sugar. It was aged for 18 months in French barriques with 35% new wood.

Colour

Medium cherry red

Nose

The Schlossberg Spätburgunder is an extremely juicy, dark-fruity wine, highly complex even on the nose, yet fleshy and deep. At the same time, it is not at all overloaded, but rather precisely crafted, lively, juicy, and inviting. A haze of smoke and roses, nuts, and an elegant wood spice hangs over the ripe, dark cherry fruit.

Palate

On the palate, this is a wine whose acidity and tannin structure already seem so integrated that you’ll struggle to let it sit for long, even though doing so will add dimension. This is already a great German Pinot Noir, finely crafted and dense, deep and long, with a concentration that doesn’t seem strained at all, but rather relaxed, as if everything came together quite naturally.
