Frankenthal Spätburgunder 1G trocken - Krone Assmannshausen

Vineyard Location & Terroir: Harvested with strict selection and aged in high-quality Burgundy barriques, both in second and third fillings, this wine is released four years after the harvest. The name comes from the Old High German word vrankendale and is derived from the property of a freeman or the property of a person (Frank). The vineyards stretch along the flank above Assmannshausen towards Rüdesheim and slope southwestward parallel to the Rhine. The Pinot Noir wines are similar to the Höllenberg wines, appearing somewhat broader and also exhibiting a velvety, spicy note with a very intense aroma. Terroir: Some areas are shallow, mostly medium to deep, with stony, weathered soils of slate and quartzite, with clay/loess deposits.
