Königsbacher Idig Spätburgunder Großes Gewächs - Weingut A. Christmann

The Königsbacher Idig Pinot Noir Großes Gewächs from Weingut A. Christmann in the Pfalz presents a bright, light-red color in the glass. If you give it some air by swirling the glass, you can perceive an excellent balance in this red wine, as it neither appears watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the glass walls. On the nose, this red wine from Weingut A. Christmann offers all kinds of blackberries and plums. As if that were not already impressive, further aromas such as mineral notes and pepper are added through maturation in small wooden barrels.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with an exceptionally low residual sugar content. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and thus enchants, despite all its dryness, with the finest balance. Excellent taste does not necessarily require sugar. Balanced and complex, this dense red wine presents itself on the palate. The finish of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of the Pfalz, more precisely from Königsbach, finally convinces with a remarkable length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils.
