The aromas of blackberry and graphite demonstrate that Tschuppen sought its strength in a beautiful balance between fruit and minerality . On the palate, the wine shows a beautiful definition of Pinot Noir. The slightly spicy notes of red fruits (cherry, strawberry and blueberry) and the tannic structure support the wine with finesse. A good measure of acidity provides the balance that makes it its backbone. Made without filtration and vinified with native yeast , this vintage then spent 20 months in used wooden barrels. Here we are dealing with a wine of great authenticity!

Où est-ce qu'on voyage?

Baden The Baden wine region covers almost 16,000 hectares. It is the hottest in Germany while being a little more cloudy and humid than Alsace located on the other side of the Rhine. Two thirds of its vineyards border the legendary Black Forest. The sites which give the best results are those which occupy the southern slopes of the forest massif or the volcanic plateau which overlooks the Rhine valley. Nearly 50% of the grape varieties are Pinot Noir or ''Spätburgunder'', Pinot Blanc or ''Weißburgunder'' and Pinot Gris ''Grauburgunder''. Pinot noir, the most widely planted grape variety, succeeds particularly well in this region which is very close to Alsace. As for the whites, Riesling, unlike other German wine regions, only represents 10% of the grape variety.

La petite histoire du pays

Germany

product descriptions logo

Germany has a long and illustrious history of viticulture. The Romans established the country's first vineyards along the banks of the Moselle River, near the present-day city of Trier. In the third century AD, plantations spread to various neighboring valleys, mainly those of the tributaries of the Moselle. In the Middle Ages, the Christian church, particularly the Cistercian and Benedictine monasteries, had a great influence on the development of viticulture and the production of quality wine in Germany. Germany has always been renowned for its excellent white wines: a little sweet, low in alcohol but always of high quality. However, in recent years, wine drinkers have tended to prefer drier wines. Consequently, the German market has evolved to cater to all tastes with some splendid dry Rieslings and other varieties of other white wine, such as Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Grauburgunder. Hotter summers and milder winters have also favored rosés and reds, with Pinot Noir being the third most planted grape variety in the country. So make your choice, from traditional Rieslings to great reds, the range is wide and still growing. The German wine industry lost its way in terms of quality during the 20th century, expanding plantings to less favorable sites and increasing yields to levels where quality was severely compromised. However, Germany's largest wine producers were never completely lost and since the end of the 20th century, considerable efforts have been made to restore Germany's former glory. Yields are now limited by law and many leading producers have joined forces to form the VDP association (see German wine labels). Members of the VDP association are required by members to focus their efforts on quality rather than quantity. In terms of volume, Germany is among the top ten countries in the world for annual wine production. Just over 60% of the wine produced is white, and it is widely accepted that the white wines from Germany's best sites and most renowned producers are among the greatest in the world. Germany's red wines are also growing in popularity and quality, particularly those from Spätburgunder, the local name for Pinot Noir. The second most popular red grape variety (in terms of hectares planted, at least) is Dornfelder.
