Bercher 2022 Spätburgunder Eichert Erste Lage
Grown from 25-plus year-old vines in a mostly volcanic, south-facing “Premier Cru” vineyard in Jechtingen, this wine shows all the virtues of Bercher’s over-performing basic Pinot on a grander and more imposing scale. Its seriousness, however, detracts in no way from the innate sweetness of the fruit, which hauls you right into the wine’s beating heart of stone.

Fermented on the skins for 3 weeks and aged for 1,5 years in the traditional oak-cask of the Kaiserstuhl region. Aromas of cassis, sweet and sour-cheries and rosehip with silky tannins and long-lingering finish.
