Daniel Wagner's red Grosses Gew?chs from his home- and yard-site in Siefersheim, the 2020 Heerkretz Pinot Noir GG shows dense, dark and toasty aromas of perfectly ripe and concentrated sour cherries intertwined with chocolate, graphite and cigar scents as well as mineral freshness and purity. Fresh and elegant on the silky-textured palate, this is a full-bodied, lush, refined and very elegant Pinot with fine tannins intermingled with delicate salinity and mineral grip. Still very young, this is a tense and promising red from a terroir that seems also suited to Pinot Noir as to Riesling. 13% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in August and December 2022.
