2022 Wasenhaus, Grand Ordinaire Spatburgunder, Baden

The vines are organically grown and gently hand-harvested, ensuring the highest quality of whole clusters. The wine is carbonically macerated, then softly pressed and fully fermented dry in the tank. After fermentation, the wine is barreled in a melange of 600L, 500L, and 228L old oak barrels. After aging for about 7-8 months, the wine is released unfined and unfiltered.

This wine is Wasenhaus’ new entry-level Pinot Noir – think Nouveau energy, but more refined, as neutral oak is used for elevage. Elegant, and surprisingly light with the same fruity and fun heart as Wasenhaus’s preceding ‘Baden Nouveau’ bottling.
