Saalwächter, Spätburgunder, 2022
Carsten Saalwächter is a rising star in Germany's Rheinhessen, crafting profound, terroir-driven expressions of Pinot Noir from his family's estate in Ingelheim.

It is an elegant, highly focused red, revealing notes of wild red cherry, crushed stone, and subtle spice, supported by fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Varietal: Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) Appellation: Rheinhessen, Germany Farming: Sustainable Style: Red. Dry, elegant and structured
