  Medium plus nose shows funk, rose stem, orange pith, barnyard, dried cherry. Palate gives very Burgundian style, hints to Nuits St. Georges, tart red fruits, orange citrus, high acidity, fantastic food wine I'd say. Very cool to try.

  17 Henkenberg GG Spatburgunder 
  Henkenberg is a small volcanic ridge completely exposed to the sun with nutrient-rich volcanic stony soil.
  13%abv. The most approachable in the line up with immediate charming bright crunchy fresh red berries, peppery spices and flinty minerals. Elegant and so delicious!
