2011 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.

Schlossberg's steep vineyards have been planted since 1492, and all the work is done by hand; the winery works with gravity flow, and the wine spends 18 months in barrel, It is bright crimson in colour, fragrant red cherry aromas allied with some (not excessive) new oak, then a palate with very good line and length, the tannins fine-grained.
