Tasting Notes
The name means "wild stone", and the site is distinguished by small terraces, some of which have ancient, dry stone walls. Pinot Noir was brought here 700 years ago by Cistercian monks from Burgundy. The soil is reddish from iron deposits with some very rocky ground, forcing the vines to root deeply and providing useful trace elements and minerals which are reflected in the wines. The planting density is between 5,000 and 10,000 vines/ha. This deeply mineral, finely structured wine is the greatest expression of Pinot Noir from Huber, and has the greatest ageing potential. - 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
