Holger Koch Pinot Noir Herrenstuck, 2020, 750ML

20 years old vines, 100% destemmed Pinot Noir, aged 11 months in 300L and 500L neutral oak barrels.

A level up from the Kaiserstuhl wines are the Herrenstuck terraces, whose wines amplify the texture of their lower elevation counterparts without sacrificing freshness.

The fruit is seductive, soft and red, with a hint of smoke, and there is ripe juicy acidity providing energy. The tannins, while quite present, are fine, and give the wine considerable length. Organic

Herrenstuck is equivalent to regional level in terms of complexity and fruit ripeness.
