The combination of up to 60+ year-old German vines, small berries and 55% whole clusters give the 2012 Sp?tburgunder GG Bienenberg its characteristic firm tannin structure. This is a very elegant, deep and spicy, almost exotic and floral flavored Pinot with a noble fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, super fresh, intense and juicy, with a silky texture and a lovely precision, this is an expressive yet delicate Pinot with wild red berries in the long and complex aftertaste. Beautifully balanced, a this is a great German Pinot Noir that combines German Kraft with Burgundian finesse.
