The 2022 Wasenhaus Spätburgunder is sourced from vineyards on sandy and loess loam soils in the Kaiserstuhl region. The wine presents a translucent ruby color and offers clean aromas of strawberry, raspberry, peony, clove, and earthy notes. On the palate, it is fresh, light, bright, and precise. While the aroma is fruit-forward, the flavor leans more towards spice and herbs, adding complexity. This is an ultra-pleasant yet sophisticated Pinot Noir. The wine was fermented with a significant proportion of whole bunches and aged in oak vats for 18 months.
A unique and defining geological feature of Baden that significantly shapes the characteristics of Wasenhaus wines is the extensive presence of loess on many of the hillsides. Loess is a fine-grained, mineral-rich sandy soil, often high in calcium, formed from rocks polished by glaciers. This silt-like soil is carried by the wind over long distances and deposited, creating remarkably structured soil. Its crystalline structure allows the loess particles to bond together, contributing to the soil's distinctive qualities.
