STEPP PINOT NOIR 2021

Here's a surprising fact – nearly one third of Germany's vineyards are planted in red grapes – but until quite recently most of these wines were made specifically with the country's own tastes in mind.

Now there is a generation of winemakers producing riper, fuller bodied Pinot Noirs made in a modern style – and one which takes both Burgundy and New Zealand Pinot Noir styles into account. Winemaker Gerd Stepp is at the forefront of this cultural change and this fabulous Pinot Noir illustrates this in this savoury, smooth and finely tuned Pinot Noir, which tastes like the ultimate match with roast duck or aubergine and then again, is equally beautiful on its own. 

This is a thought provoking Pinot Noir which offers exceptional value for money.

92/100 Anne Krebiehl, Falsaff.com, December 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"A lovely and pure note of juicy Morello cherry immediately appears on the open nose, edged with white pepper. The palate has that same pure, translucent peppery nature that is light in body but high on aromatics. Wonderfully fresh, almost tender, and also beguiling."
