Germany : Mosel : Saar : Niedermenniger Herrenberg
MEDIUM BODIED, RED FRUIT, HERBAL, MINERAL, FRESH, NEUTRAL OAK
Mosel might be a bit cold for a finicky grape like Pinot Noir but this bottling shows the potential. Aromas of tart bing cherry and fresh green herbs on the nose. Cranberry and wild strawberry mingle on the palate with accents of wood spice, smoke, and crunchy minerality.
