Steinbock Pinot Noir - Weingut Hörner

Steinbock Pinot Noir - Weingut HörnerThe Steinbock Pinot Noir from Weingut Hörner in the Palatinate offers a bright, light red color in the glass. Poured into a Burgundy goblet, this red wine from the Old World reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of raspberry, rounded off by eucalyptus, toasted wood and black cherry, which are contributed by the barrel ageing. This red from Weingut Hörner is ideal for all wine lovers who like as little residual sweetness in their wine as possible. However, it is never sparse or brittle, as you would naturally expect from a wine. On the palate, this balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense and fleshy texture. Thanks to the moderate fruit acidity, the Steinbock Pinot Noir flatters the palate with a pleasing sensation without lacking freshness. The finish of this well-maturing red wine from the Palatinate wine-growing region, Hochstadt to be precise, impresses with a remarkable aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets from the loess and loam-dominated soils. Vinification of the Hörner Steinbock Pinot Noir winery The basis for the balanced Steinbock Pinot Noir from Germany are grapes from the Pinot Noir grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into loam and loess soils. The grapes for this red wine from Germany are harvested exclusively by hand at the time of optimum ripeness. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
