Description

Beautiful, light Pinot Noir from southwest Germany.

Theodorus, Pfalz, Germany

2018/19

75cl

14%

Pinot Noir

Product Code: EGZ02

Matured for 12 months in oak barrels. A really inviting bouquet offering a pot-pourri of damson plum, dark cherry and black raspberry fruit. A savoury, autumnal earthy note adds intrigue and an almost Burgundian twist to this seductive, modern Pinot Noir. Fine balance thanks to a perfect marriage of fruit and ripe, gentle tannins. Fresh and precise on the finish. Best with white meat dishes, cold cuts and medium cheeses.

  • 16.5+/20 – JancisRobinson.com, ‘Earthy and fungal on the nose, giving a rustic but attractive complexity to the ripe red fruit. Delivers ample flavour and depth for a very modest price, especially in the world of Pinot. Impressive and VGV! (very good value)’ Richard Hemming MW, October 2017 (2014 vintage)

Weingut Theodorus is a renowned family-owned wine estate in Germany's Pfalz region that can proudly claim a 230 year history since its founding in 1778. The more contemporary era began in 1974 with Theo and Inge Lergenmüller who subsequently handed over the reins of the business to  their son Thomas. Ever since that time, in 1996, Thomas has worked with complete focus and dedication to ecological principles. He has converted all his 14 hectares of vineyards to organic cultivation with official certification following in 2011. The vineyards are scattered around the best wine-growing areas surrounding the village of Hainfeld and it is here that the Riesling grape, in particular, benefits from heavy clay-rich limestone soil. Integrated plant protection, green ground cover management and an environmentally friendly working practices are the norm. Any ecological vineyard treatments are kept to a minimum e.g. composting or lime. As the vines are naturally healthy they have built up a protection against the worst ravages of fungal diseases. Low yields promote high quality fruit. Meticulous selection and hand-harvesting of grapes from the best vineyard sites, followed by the gentle handling of the fruit and slow cool fermentations with natural yeasts ensure that Thomas's wines express fully their origins and varietal character. Extended lees contact is encouraged. Purity and authenticity are key here. Thomas Lergenmüller says that “the gentle handling of nature is the basic requirement for achieving highest qualities in wine."
