Weingut Wasenhaus, Spätburgunder Vulkan, Baden, 2023

$79.00

Founded by Burgundian-trained winemakers Christoph and Alex Götze, the Wasenhaus estate has become known for restrained, site-focused Pinot Noir shaped by organic farming and low-intervention cellar work. Vulkan is sourced from volcanic vineyard sites in southern Baden, where dark basalt soils and warmer exposures give Spätburgunder a deeper, more structured profile while still preserving the freshness that defines Wasenhaus wines.

The 2023 vintage is darker and more savory in character, offering notes of black cherry, wild raspberry, dried herbs, forest floor, and smoky spice alongside subtle mineral tones. Partial whole cluster fermentation brings lift and structure, while aging in used French oak keeps the wine focused and transparent. The palate is energetic and grounded, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a long, earthy finish shaped by the volcanic soils of the site.

Varietal: Spätburgunder
Appellation: Landwein, Baden, Germany
Farming: Organic; low-intervention
Style: Red. Savory, structured, and mineral-driven
