Pinot Noir Brauneberger Mandelgraben* - 2019 - Markus Molitor

100% Pinot Noir, from vines cultivated with sustainable methods and planted at the Brauneberger Mandelgraben vineyard site, on deep soils with a high proportion of finely decomposed slate. The vineyard is worked meticulously, with harvesting done by hand and rigorous sorting, to select only perfectly healthy, extremely ripe grapes. Vinification: the grapes are almost entirely de-stemmed, followed by four weeks of maceration in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, gentle pressing in a vertical press, and 24 months of maturation in French oak barrels.
