The raw material for this new model from Ratzenberger comes from the Bacharacher Wolfsh\u00f6hle, which is located in the middle of the long, south-facing field that runs from Bacharach on the Rhine and up to Steeg in the side valley that faces almost perpendicular to the course of the river towards the Hunsr\u00fcck massif. Here, the soil is very nutrient-poor with deep-seated, decomposed shale. This small cuv\u00e9e is sourced from the field’s oldest Pinot vines, where pruning early in the season has reduced the harvest to promote concentration in the grapes, and consequently, the wine.<\/p>\n
This is intensely fruity and dense pinot fruit with youthful structure and aromas of elderberry, cranberry, cherry and a distinct geranium-herb rustic edge (from old German clones).
\nThe wine still appears very youthful and unredeemed, but give it, if necessary, a good handful of years along.<\/p>\n
If you drink it young, try a decanter and find the spacious burgundy glasses.<\/p>\n
Ratzenberger Bacharacher Wolfsh\u00f6hle Sp\u00e4tburgunder Grosses Gew\u00e4chs will go well with simmered dishes, especially the Proven\u00e7al daube or boeuf bourguignon<\/p>\n
Best served at room temperature, at approx. 15-16\u00b0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
