Steinmühle Spatburgunder Rheinhessen QBA 2009

Tasted 09/12/11. 13%ABV. £8. Exclusively available in the UK from German Wine Agencies. A revelation of a wine. A world away from many Spatburgunders (Pinot Noirs) of old. Bright pink colour, youthful, clear, and very little oak evident. A pure expression of Pinot Noir fruit. A delightful nose of rosehips and strawberries. Elegant palate, balanced with firm tannins. Juicy red fruits. Excellent finish. Ready to drink but will last. From 2012, 18/20
