Wasenhaus Möhlin Spätburgunder is for those who look for a more serious, terroir-focused Pinot Noir and are willing to go beyond basic regional wines. It works when you want a bottle with structure and identity—something to open over dinner and follow how it evolves in the glass. The reason to choose it is simple: this is one of the key wines of Wasenhaus, shaped by a clear Burgundian approach but rooted in Baden. Made by Christoph Wolber and Alexander Götze, both trained in Burgundy, it reflects their focus on natural methods and site expression. Möhlin is positioned as a top cuvée, showing depth, precision, and a distinct sense of place rather than a generic Pinot style.
Wasenhaus is one of the rising stars of the German wine scene, particularly known for its exceptional Pinot Noirs (Spätburgunder) and Chardonnays. Founded in 2016 by Christoph Wolber and Alexander Götze, Wasenhaus is located in Baden, a region in southern Germany that is increasingly being recognized for its potential to produce world-class wines. What makes Wasenhaus stand out is the founders’ deep-rooted experience in Burgundy, where both Christoph and Alexander worked at prestigious biodynamic estates before returning to their native Germany to establish their own winery. The philosophy at Wasenhaus is centered around natural winemaking and showcasing the unique terroir of Baden. The winery is committed to organic farming practices, avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyard, and opting for a minimalist approach in the cellar. Their vineyards, spread across different terroirs, consist mainly of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with the cool climate and diverse soils providing the perfect conditions for these Burgundian varieties. Wasenhaus’ wines are made with a hands-off philosophy. The grapes are harvested by hand, and fermentation is spontaneous, relying on natural yeasts. For their red wines, including their acclaimed Spätburgunder, they often use whole-cluster fermentation, which adds structure and complexity to the wines. Aging is done in used French oak barrels, imparting a gentle influence of oak while allowing the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir to shine through. The result is wines that are fresh, elegant, and deeply expressive of their origin. Wasenhaus’ Pinot Noirs are often compared to fine Burgundy, with a delicate balance of fruit, acidity, and earthy minerality. The Chardonnays, too, have gained a following for their precision, minerality, and complexity, with some cuvées showing a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity.
