Baden is Germany’s southernmost wine region. It comprises a long, slim strip of vineyards nestled between the hills of the Black Forest and the Rhine River, stretching some 400km from north to south. It has many soil types and grape varieties, though almost half of the vineyards are planted with one of the various Pinot varieties. The growing season tends to see plenty of sun and warmth. Although white plantings outnumber reds, about a third of the region is planted to Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder), which can ripen to produce velvety, full-flavoured reds while retaining vibrant acidity. Our Baden producer is one of Germany’s standout Pinot Noir makers: Weingut Bernhard Huber.
The Wine Front – It’s medium-bodied, vigorous and energetic, with again that lead pencil stuff, and a slaty mineral feel. Perhaps some orange peel on the finish too, and a lick of kitten’s tongue tannin to close. Lovely stuff.
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The acidity is remarkably fine and the
finish, though still a very little bit reductive, is pure, dry, fresh and beautifully aromatic.
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – Fermented in
large oak vats and aged for more than a year in used barriques, this is a beautifully pure and freshflavored
Pinot with well-articulated berry aromas and some spicy forest aromas. Silky textured, finessed
and very elegant, the 2015 is a well-structured, vital and medium-bodied Pinot with precise fruit, fine
tannins and a lot of character. It can compete with the best red Bourgognes and is a what I'd call a Best
Buy. 88 points. Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate February 2017
