Wine of the month February 2009

My wine of the month is from Großhöflein / Neusiedlersee-Hügelland. Very low yielding vines on chalky soil are the base for this typical Pinot Noir. I have tasted this wine on a nearly regulary basis and the development is definitely promising.

The wine of the month February 2009 is

Pinot Noir "Kreideberg" 2006 from Weingut Wagentristl - very good

pale red hue, still purple colored, chalky, iod, spices and cinnnamon in the nose, hints of oak, truffel scent, very smooth tannins, quite lingering.
