Germany - Baden

The Kaiserstuhl, in Baden, produces a number of different wine styles, but all the wines are characterised by beautiful ripe fruit. The whites here are all dry, fresh and elegant, and the Pinot Noirs (Spatburgunder) stand comparison with those from more reknowned regions.

Weingut K-H Johner

Rivaner 2008
Forget your prejudices. This is an excellent Muller Thurgau from old, £110.90 per case
low-yielding vines. Rich, peachy fruit is perfectly balanced by delightful
acidity. Great as an aperitif or with white meat, or fool your friends in a
blind tasting.

Pinot Blanc/Chardonnay 2007
Pinot Blanc gives lightness to the rich Chardonnay. Full-bodied and £155.45 per case
creamy textured with great structure and length.

Pinot Noir 2007
Opulent Pinot Noir. Soft red fruit character on the nose and palate £231.40 per case
is backed by velvety smooth, supple tannins. This is a delight now,
but it will continue to improve over the next five or more years.

Weingut Dr Heger

Grauburgunder 2008
Powerful Pinot Gris, with ripe tropical fruit character and a perfect £189.25 per case
dry finish. This is a big, but perfectly balanced, wine, with intense fruit
flavours and a filigrain minerality.

Spatburgunder 2007
Slightly smokey, spicey aromas give way to dark fruit on the palate. £218.40 per case
The fruit is bound by soft, supple tannins. The finish is long, with
hints of coffee and spicy oak. This is a superbly elegant and
balanced Pinot Noir that will repay keeping.
