Importer notes: "This is Wasenhaus’ entry level Pinot Noir; it is the gateway drug of this estate, cut from the same cloth as the top Grand Crus (unlike the 'Grande Ordinaire', which is a much more free-form, bright and “natural” treatise on Pinot Noir from the region). The Spätburgunder comes from various parcels, it is 'Baden Rouge' as you might say. Fermented mostly destemmed, with about 30% whole bunch, in a classic open oak vat. Fermentation lasted between 15 to 18 days and the wine was aged in used French oak barrels for 14 months. Alcohol 12.3%."
