Weingut Gies-Düppel Spätburgunder trocken "Quarz" 2023

This elegant Pfalz Spätburgunder offers a captivating introduction to the lighter, more mineral-driven style of German Pinot Noir. The bouquet is dominated by juicy red fruit notes, particularly cherry and wild strawberry, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and a delicate spice. In the glass, the wine exhibits a brilliant ruby-red hue. The palate is dry and vibrant, structured by a refreshing acidity and silky, harmoniously integrated tannins. The finish is persistent and focused, reflecting the mineral purity and character of the quartz sandstone soil that gives the wine its name. This is a superb example of a clean, food-friendly red wine, balancing fruit concentration with regional terroir expression.
