Product description for Weingut am Klotz Isteiner Spätburgunder 2022

Info

The year 2022 began with very little rainfall in the first quarter. This severe soil moisture deficit also carried over into the growing season. Everything seemed to start relatively normally. At the end of March, the buds were about to burst. Two freezing nights caused frost damage here in the southwest as well. Rising temperatures throughout the year and the drought promoted grape growth. The low amount of precipitation made plant protection much easier. However, due to the barrenness of the vineyards and their very exposed locations, the low water quantity was already close to critical levels. A few weeks before the start of the harvest, the long-awaited rain arrived. The energy was preserved in the grapes. The harvest began almost historically early at the end of August. The Pinot Noir grows on Jurassic sedimentary rock and coral limestone in a very exposed location. The dense colour and dark berry aroma come from the hot summer period with many hours of sunshine. The wine is aged in barriques for 14 months. Only 25% is new wood.

Colour

Bright ruby red with delicate violet reflections and a lighter rim.

Nose

The nose of the 2022 Isteiner Spätburgunder from Weingut am Klotz is incredibly dark and charming. Pickled morello cherries, plums, elderberries, and sweet cherries initially dominate. Raspberry and red currant also flash through occasionally. It fluctuates between red and dark blossoms. The longer you spend time with the nose, the deeper you penetrate into the forest sensorially. Undergrowth, forest floor, a touch of truffle, but above all, woody and ethereal aromas are present. A hint of cigar box and conifer bark. Pine needles and cones. Juniper, delicate hints of clove, and mixed pepper provide a successful spice.

Palate

On the palate, it remains true to its dark character. However, the mouthfeel completely takes over, far from the aromatics. It appears silky and polished. At the same time, it displays a warm, dense core, yet always supported by a cooling, taut mineral structure. Its fruit is dark but tart. The spicy aromas are well-dosed and drift noticeably more towards the ethereal.
