2016 Bernhard Huber Bienenberg Pinot Noir Grosses Gewächs
Bernhard Huber
Huber’s holdings in the grand cru Bienenberg vineyard were planted in the 50s and 60s with primarily German clones. They are the oldest on the estate. Of the approximately 130-hectare Bienenberg Vineyard, Huber owns 15 hectares. Of this, about 10.45 ha is classified Grosses Gewächs. The soil is yellow-reddish shell limestone. The aspect is south-east to south-west. Part of the vineyard is on a 15% slope (so passable with vineyard equipment) and part is on small, steeply ascending terraces (up to 60% gradient). The average vine age is between two and 53 years and yields are around 30 hl/ha. The Pinot Noir is marked by red fruits with hints of violets. Equipped with power and elegance, it takes time to play out its potential.

Medium intensity of colour, raspberry, ruby rim; ripe red fruit, a little bonfire smoke and gentle spices delight the olfactory perception. There's no doubt that Julian Huber likes fresh acidity in his wines, but when it comes with the mouth-watering taste of morello cherries and is complemented by subtle stony minerality and delicious spices, it all adds up to a top-class Spätburgunder.
