Dry, Medium Bodied style of Pinot Noir
About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Pinot NoirWeingut Thorle is the leading light of the second wave of the Rheinhessen Renaissance. Since Johannes and Christoph Thörle took the helm in 2006, they have elevated the estate into a powerhouse for terroir-driven wines and put the village of Saulheim on the global wine map. Their signature lies in the deep limestone soils, producing Riesling and Pinot Noir defined by electric minerality, structural tension, and world-class precision.
A standout German Pinot Noir from the Thörle brothers, the Saulheim Kalkstein Spätburgunder is all about energy and limestone precision. This "high-tension" red is defined by a vibrant acidity and the signature chalky texture that Pinot enthusiasts crave. Hand-harvested and aged for 18 months in French oak, it opens with a complex layer of morello cherries, wild berries, and violets, backed by smoky undertones and dried herbs. Medium-bodied and racy, the wine features fine tannins and a long, salty-mineral finish that perfectly balances ripe fruit with a cool, stony edge. It is a sophisticated, world-class expression of Rheinhessen elegance.

The spice of this great German pinot noir is off the scale. The red fruit and floral aromas need a moment’s aeration in the glass to catch up, but boy do they. Fantastic combination of concentration and fine tannins, with notes of cloves, licorice, dried rosemary, sage and raw meat on the medium-bodied palate. Wonderful freshness in the long, delicately chalky finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.
