Critic reviews

James Suckling – "A remarkable pinot noir for a village wine with lots of autumnal complexity (underbrush, wet earth, bonfire) in the nose. Then comes the very structured medium-bodied palate with generous tannins and a fine-grained mouthfeel. The long focused finish with a cascade of mineral and wild herb notes completes the impressive picture. 30% whole cluster, wild fermented, then matured for a year in large oak. From biodynamically grown grapes. Unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold."

Description

It's not just the label that looks a little different. With the 2019 vintage, Simone Adams has said goodbye to naming her wines according to caliber and is now consistently turning to the commonly used estate, local and site wine system. The reason for this is that in the future she wants to highlight the closer origin of her wines more clearly - especially for the top wines. She has remained completely true to her style and has even refined it even further, but wines like Caliber 12 are no longer available in the usual form. Die-hard Adams fans have to relearn a bit. But this much can already be revealed: it's quick and worth it.

This local Pinot Noir comes largely from the same plots as the Caliber 12, but also from plots that used to go into the Caliber 28. Hand-picked, spontaneous fermentation with 20% black grapes. The aging initially took place over twelve months, mostly in large wooden barrels, the higher quality batches also in small used barrels. The wine then matured in stainless steel for nine months and was bottled without fining or filtration - and without any other auxiliary substances or additives, apart from a little sulfur.

In the glass, the wine presents itself with a rich, transparent ruby ​​red. The bouquet is dominated by juicy cherries and red berries, but also notes of dried coffee cherries, some mint and earthy and floral notes.

About German Wines

Germany is the world’s northernmost fine wine producing region and thus requires its vines to endure some of the coldest temperatures. Fortunately, the country’s star variety, Riesling, does well in cooler climates and can survive even these freezing winters.

Germany Riesling is classified by ripeness at harvest which is also used to indicate the wine’s level of residual sugar. Picking earlier means the grapes have less time to ripen and the corresponding wines will be on the drier side; while picking later gives the grapes the opportunity full ripen and produce a lusciously sweet Riesling. The classifications from driest to sweetest: Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein (ice wine). While not as common to age white wines outside of Chardonnay, top tier German Rieslings can be aged for decades.

Other notable white grape varieties produced in Germany include Müller-Thurgau (a cross between Riesling and Madelaine Royale in the search for varieties that could withstand the extreme temperatures), Grauburguner (Pinot Gris) and Weissburguner (Pinot Blanc). The cooler German climate leads to earlier harvesting in general and gives German wines a distinctive character of higher acidity.

Historically red wine has always been harder to produce in the German climate. However, Pinot Noir grown in slightly warmer pockets of the country, has been highly successful in recent times. Going by the German name, Spätburgunder, German Pinot Noir can be elegant, structured and have vibrant acidity.
