Spätburgunder Kalk

The grapes come from the Markgräflerland region, from various plots of land on weathered limestone soils. Some of the vines are a remarkable 40 years old for the region. Would you like a little anecdote about old vines? Vines were advertised for sale in the region, the Wasenhaus boys were clearly interested, expressed their interest and then actually received the call. In which they politely apologized and wanted to know if they were also interested in the old, much less interesting vines on the slope, because the young ones on the plain had unfortunately already been sold. Can you see how some people's optics have shifted? And that's not an exception; unfortunately no, it's the rule, we were told. But I'm sure that wines like these from Alex and Christoph will change the way we see things, sooner rather than later. Because wines like this show in an impressive way what is possible in the south of Germany. It is magnificent how the wine combines elderberry, sour cherry and spices in its aroma to create an extremely neat perfume. The wine takes over the palate with pressure and shows velvety tannins, which nevertheless shape and frame the wine. The acidity then covers everything again, allowing the wine to finish wonderfully juicy and with a wonderful sweetness of extract. Wow, this is the ultimate hot drop!
