Thörle - Spätburgunder 2022

Thörle is a family domain, now in the hands of brothers Christoph and Johannes, who oversee the biodynamic Rheinhessen estate. This pinot noir comes from limestone soils, with partial whole bunch, and a native ferment and rest in oak (85% neutral German, 15% new French), where it remained until bottling without fining or filtration. This is bright and lifted, effortlessly, with the limestone soils shimmering underneath wild cherry, wild raspberry, and wild strawberry. Tannins are long and sapid, hugging this energetic wine to the spiced, buzzing, lingering finish line. This wine is in a lovely place now, with few years under its belt, and will remain so over the next few years easy.
