Olive brine and earth. I'm not sure that the fruit carried this forward enough.

Aug 13th, 2014This evening I met a couple of friends for a pop and pour, and I grabbed this bottle to open first because it was that kind of day. My word of the day immediately came to mind when I tasted this wine because it was that kind of delicious.
Cuvée Max is named after its head winemaker Max Himstedt. Rheihngau Germany is more known for Riesling, but the region also has spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). This wine is sourced from 80 year old vines. They say this wine is delicious and compelling, and they are not wrong.
German Pinot. Full stop, this wine is perfection. How am I just now learning about German Pinots?
