2019 Hanewald-Schwerdt Spatburgunder Trocken

We started importing Hanewald-Schwerdt two years ago and were absolutely rocked by this superb Pinot!

The estate is a partnership between Thomas Hanewald and Stephan Schwerdt who have taken over the running of their family winery. Thomas and Stephan are members of ‘Generation Riesling’ a body made up of the best young winemaking talent in Germany.

Their focus is on dry wines, primarily made from Riesling and Pinot Noir that express their vintage and vineyard. The entry level wines aim to show off pure varietal character, while the village wines are all hand picked from individual soil types. The single vineyard wines demonstrate the highest levels of quality that each site and variety can produce.

This superb glass of Pinot shows lashings of soft fruit with a deep core. Light and delicate, this blows all Burgundy out of the water at this price.

Spatburgunder is the German name for Pinot Noir.
