Oberrotweil Spätburgunder Ortswein
The Kaiserstuhl, where Salwey’s vines grow, is a small volcanic mountain range in the Rhine valley of Baden, in the far south of Germany. Its unique soil and warm climate shape the character of Salwey’s wines, making them softer and more hedonistic. In 2002, Konrad Salwey took over winemaking from his father, Wolf-Dietrich. ‘You can’t make Burgundy in the Kaiserstuhl,’ Konrad once said. His ideal: a German Pinot Noir with fruit character, vibrancy and the ability to age. The barrel regime supports this vision – one third new oak, one third second-use and one third older barrels. Caro Maurer MW: Intense and expressive nose, dark berries overlaid by the oak spices, touches of mint and green leaves. Ripe and fine tannins, acidity firm but with good flow. Impressive. Mark Dearing: The slightly briny, iodine-laced, red fruit aroma feels volcanic, with a herbal core of nori, soy and dark cherry. Well integrated, long finish, mineral and high quality. Stefan Neumann MS: Dark fruit-scented perfume with subtle earthy undertones, Good concentration and a lovely balance, some delicate notes of cardamom, fresh vanilla. Truly outstanding with some time in the glass. One for the cellar.,
