2018 Bernhard Huber Malterdinger Pinot Noir
Bernhard Huber
More than 700 years ago, Cistercian monks brought Pinot Noir to Malterdingen. The monks' estate, called "curia", was in the Mönchhofmatten district where the Huber winery is located today. In Malterdingen the monks encountered the same terroir - the weathered “shell limestone" soil - as in Burgundy. And they brought with them cutting-edge experience on how to grow Pinot Noir. In vine variety books and wine encyclopedias, the terms “Pinot Noir” and “Malterdinger” are synonymous.
The 2018 Bernhard Huber Malterdinger Pinot Noir is a VDP village wine grown on weathered shell limestone soil with a thin layer of loess clay. These grapes come from vines that are between 8 and 25 years old. After the traditional must fermentation, this wine is mainly aged in first-, second- and third-use barriques and is bottled without filtration. - Julian Huber

Typical earthy, nutty and spicy with dark cherry and ripe raspberry. It’s tight and savoury, but has plenty of deep dark fruit, firm stony tannin, some toastiness, and a distinctly ‘mineral’ feel, along with clean acidity, damp earth and spice on a pretty long finish. In short, very good, and offers a pleasing point of Pinot difference.

An excellent village wine with plenty of structure and fine tannins for this category. Deep, earthy nose with plenty of sour cherries and forest berries, but also a nice hint of sweetness at the cool finish. Drink or hold.
