2021 Weingut von Winning Pinot Royale

This fine Pinot Noir from the German top winery: Weingut von Winning . The Pinot Royale is the successor to the Pinot Noir I and Pinot Noir II. The best qualities of the two predecessors are combined in this Pinot Royale. The name of the wine emphasizes the Burgundian character of this wine. Compared to its French counterpart, the German is slightly riper and more powerful in taste. The ripe red fruit comes out clearly and is nicely balanced with the spicy, slightly sweet aromas of the wood aging. The success of pinot noir in Germany is largely due to climate change and the growing expertise of local winegrowers. Producers (re)discover the best locations for pinot noir, clone higher quality plants and learn how to handle oak wood. The grapes for this Pinot Royale come from the vineyards planted on the Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker and Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad. The soils are diverse and include red sandstone, sandy clay, chalk,

In the glass, the Von Winning Royale is light ruby red. With aromas of dried red fruit, cranberry, spiciness, forest floor and beautiful, integrated aromas of the wood aging in the nose. A wine with many layers, which feels particularly soft in the mouth. Nice balance between the ripe and dried fruit, earthy tones and the spiciness of the wood aging. A juicy pinot noir that lives up to its name. As with all Pinot Noirs, drink this wine slightly cooled. Between 12-16℃ is the perfect temperature. This wine is delicious with duck breast with cranberry sauce. Also delicious with grilled green asparagus and also a fantastic (quality) glass to enjoy on the terrace or by the fireplace.
