Pinot Noir - Weingut Kopp

The Pinot Noir - Weingut Kopp pours into the glass in a radiant ruby red, shot through with delicate, bright reflections. Even at the first swirl, a multifaceted bouquet rises. Ripe raspberries, juicy redcurrants and dark sour cherries meet the warm fragrance of cloves and a hint of cinnamon. In the background, a subtle herbal spice hovers, lending the wine additional depth.

On the palate, this Pinot Noir is elegant and precise. The fruit is clear and taut, with red berries taking center stage, accompanied by juicy cherry and a touch of cassis.

This style is an impressive match for the Pinot Noir grape variety, which has played an outstanding role in Baden for many decades. Weingut Kopp works with varietally pure grapes from selected parcels in the region, whose warm climate and well-ventilated sites produce particularly aromatic, finely structured grapes. The Pinot Noir - Weingut Kopp combines the ripe fruit of a southern German Pinot with the cool elegance of the Old World.

Production of Pinot Noir – Weingut Kopp

The grapes for the Pinot Noir - Weingut Kopp come from the Baden growing region, more precisely from vineyards around Sinzheim. The area enjoys a warm, sun-drenched climate with a noticeable influence from the Black Forest. During the day, the berries ripen under intense sunshine; at night, temperatures fall, encouraging slow, aromatic maturation. Soils of loess, loam and calcareous deposits lend the wine structure, minerality and a subtle spiciness.

The grapes are harvested selectively, with only optimally ripe bunches making their way to the winery. Careful sorting ensures pure, undamaged fruit. Pinot Noir reacts very sensitively to every handling step, so particularly gentle treatment is the focus. The berries are transferred carefully into the fermentation vessel to preserve their colour, aroma and structure as well as possible.

Fermentation is temperature-controlled so that the delicate aromas of red berries and spices remain clear and expressive. A period of skin maceration extracts colour and fine tannins without provoking harshness or bitterness. The young wine then rests for a certain period, partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wood, depending on the vintage and the desired style. This combination of freshness from steel and gentle rounding from wood results in a clear yet complex Pinot Noir.

The winemaker pursues a style that places elegance above sheer power. The wine’s origin speaks clearly from the glass without being overwhelmed by excessive oak aromas. Every decision in the cellar is aimed at balance, transparency and drinking pleasure. The result is a vegan-certified organic Pinot Noir that reflects both its Baden home and the Burgundian tradition.

A Burgundy glass showcases this wine’s qualities particularly impressively. The generous bowl gives the delicate Pinot fruit room to unfold, opens up the fragrant nose and highlights the fine structure on the palate.

In convivial settings, this Pinot Noir is an excellent companion for relaxed evenings with friends, stylish dinners or an unwinding end to the day on the terrace. It also makes an excellent gift for lovers of elegant red wines, particularly thanks to the classic Burgundy bottle design and the practical screw cap, which allows for effortless enjoyment.
