2016 Bernhard Huber Schlossberg Pinot Noir Grosses Gewächs
Bernhard Huber
Bright yellowish limestone par excellence. Schlossberg is considered the most concise vineyard in Breisgau and has been used for viticulture since 1492. It's a steep slope on a gradient of up to 72% (in the Kapelleberg part up to 96%). It requires purely manual work and the mineral, skeleton-rich soil with bright yellowish limestone is geologically rare within the Black Forest foothills. The main orientation is south to south west. It's an absolutely top location for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Of the vineyard’s 50 hectares, Huber's holdings are 6 ha, of which 5.49 ha are classified as Grosses Gewächs. The 6- to 35-year-old vines are planted with a density 6,250-13,000 vines/ha. The yield here is 28 hl/ha. The steep slope makes for very intense sun radiation. The wines have great inner warmth and depth, a firm structure, pronounced minerality and strong fruit.

18.5/20
Medium-depth raspberry colour, pink rim. An enticing fragrance with notions of cassis, graphite and subtle spices has a very seductive quality. The palate follows up with plenty of juice, invigorating acidity, fresh fruit, subtle flinty minerality and a gentle notion of cedar spice.
