Ziereisen's 2020 (Pinot Noir) Schulen exhibits an intense but lively dark ruby color that speaks to the unfiltered bottling of the wine that was aged in small oak barrels for a bit more than 1.5 years. The wine shows a noble, deep, pure and refreshing bouquet of dark, ripe and intensely flavored fruit (dark cherries, Schwarzwälder Kirsch) intermingled with spicy-peppery as well as chalky notes (Jurassic limestone). On the palate, this is a silky, intense and balanced, full-bodied and juicy red with remarkably fine tannins, stunning mineral and energetic vibrancy and fine salinity on the long and intense finish that represents the warmth and generosity of the vintage. This is the most impressive Schulen I have had from this domaine, and I have missed only a very few vintages since the start in the 1990s. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork stopper (Amorim). Tasted in November 2022. ... More details

Silky temperament. Spices combine with fully ripe cherries and forest raspberries. Material silk in the mouth, yet spirited. Fleshy, fruity and extractrinal. Aging potential for at least 12 years.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.

Country: Germany

If German wine has had something of a bad reputation in the past, it may well be the fault of the fact that for a long time now, the Germans have simply kept all the best produce to themselves. Visit any town or village in wine producing regions of Germany, and you'll be faced with a stunning array of extremely high quality wines, each matched with local dishes and full of distinct character and flavor. As white wine production makes up for about two-thirds of all Germany's wine industry, this is by far the most visible and widely enjoyed type of wine, but one should not overlook the quality and range of rosé and red wines on offer from this fascinating country. In particular, the Spatburgunder wines (the German name for Pinot Noir) are generally of an exceptionally high quality, being full of dark, intense hedgerow fruit flavors and exciting spicy notes with a silky smooth finish.
