Tasting Notes
Bright yellowish limestone par excellence. Schlossberg is considered the most concise vineyard in Breisgau and has been used for viticulture since 1492. It's a steep slope on a gradient of up to 72% (in the Kapelleberg part up to 96%). It requires purely manual work and the mineral, skeleton-rich soil with bright yellowish limestone is geologically rare within the Black Forest foothills. The main orientation is south to south west. It's an absolutely top location for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Of the vineyard's 50 hectares, Huber's holdings are 6 ha, of which 5.49 ha are classified as Grosses Gewächs. The 6- to 35-year-old vines are planted with a density 6,250-13,000 vines/ha. The yield here is 28 hl/ha. The steep slope makes for very intense sun radiation. The wines have great inner warmth and depth, a firm structure, pronounced minerality and strong fruit. - Importer Note
Situated in Baden, Germany The Huber Winery in Malterdingen is in the deep South-West of Germany, located on the foothills of the Black Forest mountains between Strasbourg, in the French Alsace Region, and the city Basel in Switzerland. We cultivate approximately 25 ha - 65 % Pinot Noir. Cisterciensan monks brought the Pinot Noir tradition from Burgundy into our region. Bernard Huber is given the top rating of five stars in the Gault Millau Wine Guide (the Gambero Rosso of Germany) and several of his Pinot Noir are regularly among the finest produced in Germany in any given year. - Winery Note
