<\/i><\/i><\/span>WHITE PINOT PARADISE - BURGUNDERWUNDER DEUTSCHLAND<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
As part of the \u2018Germany’s best Burgundy wines 2025\u2019 competition, our<\/p>\n

2021 Sommerhalde Bombach Pinot Gris<\/p>\n

was honoured as one of the best Pinot Gris wines in Germany.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>The mirror<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Das Magazin “Der Spiegel” machte Mitte Februar im Artikel “So schmeckt das erste Viertel”
einen geschmackvollen R\u00fcckblick auf den Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darin wurde unser 2014 Sp\u00e4tburgunder \u201cCCL\u201d empfohlen!<\/p>\n

“Dieses Jahr (2014) muss auch in der R\u00fcckschau mit einem ganz besonderen Wein gefeiert werden.
…Der Sp\u00e4tburgunder aus drei Lagen entfaltet ein fantastisches Bouquet von wilden Beeren,
Heckenrose, Wacholder, R\u00f6staromen, Kirschbaumholz….Super vital, Spannung, Druck!
Eingeh\u00fcllt in einen feinen Schmelz, edel, vielschichtig. Toller Wein.”<\/i> von Gerald Franz<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Feinschmecker - 5 F's<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\nIn the latest edition of \u201cthe best wineries of 2025\u201d
\nwe have moved up to 5 F!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe extremely cherry-fruity, spicy, wonderfully complex Pinot Noir from Kenzingen (acid, tannin – everything is perfect) is even surpassed by its counterpart from the Herbolzheimer Kaiserberg (\u2026). The Chardonnay from this location is also absolutely sublime (\u2026) All of this and much more (especially the Syrah from the Achkarrer Schlossberg!) is worth the fifth F for us.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\nThe Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung was looking for \u201ccarefree enjoyment for the summer\u201d and found this, among other things, in our Ros\u00e9 FW.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis\u00a0Ros\u00e9 FW<\/strong>\u00a0also has elements of Merlot and Syrah\u00a0and becomes a\u00a0fascinating, almost<\/strong>\u00a0Mediterranean wine<\/strong>, which not only offers a lot of strawberry and cranberry fruit, but with chamomile tones and a certain saltiness is also a good, not too drinkable accompaniment to food.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n2022 Pinot Noir estate wine as one of \u201cEight Wines for

\u201cIt smells like sour cherry, blackberry leaf, something
\nCherry wood, smoke, caramel, roasted almond.
\nAlso some cocoa and autumn leaves on the palate.
\nFresh acidity and medium tannins keep the whole thing in shape.
\nDense, indulgent, incredible entry-level quality.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In the latest edition of \u201cThe 500 Best Wineries in Germany\u201d we were awarded 4 1\/2 F!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were blown away by Fritz Wa\u00dfmer\u2019s 2019 collection, both white and red. You don’t find this much cleanliness, precision and clarity everywhere. [\u2026] A high-class specialty are the Chardonnays from Roter Berg and Kaiserberg, which, despite malolactic fermentation, have good acidity and are not buttery.
\nThe Pinot Noirs are also always permeated by a fine vein of acidity. The Roter Berg is a powerhouse with finesse, the Sommerhalde is earthier and pepperier, the CCL is velvety and transparent. The icing on the cake is the Kasierberg, which, despite its fullness and depth, runs easily over the palate.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We are delighted to receive these great awards from James Suckling:<\/p>\n

Score 98 2020 Schlossberg Staufen Chardonnay\u201cThis is exactly what many people expect from great white Burgundy! \u2013 is one of the first really world-class chardonnays made in Germany\u201d<\/p>\n

Score 97 2020 Schlossberg Staufen Weissburgunder \u201cYou could easily mistake this game-changing dry pinot blanc from Germany\u2019s far south for a Montrachet Grand Cru thanks to its astonishing balance of great concentration, super-fine tannins and mind blow minerality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Score 97\u00a0 2020 Kaiserberg Herbolzheim Chardonnay\u00a0 \u201c Anyone who doubts German\u2019s ability to produce great Chardonnay should taste this beauty that precisely balances richness with elegance, minerality with concentrated and delicate candied citrus fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Score 96 2020 Kaiserberg Herbolzheim Weissburgunder \u201cAt once very mineral and dangerously fresh, this dry pinot blanc smashes the mold for this grape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Score 96 2020 Sommerhalde Bombach Sp\u00e4tburgunder \u201cThe generous fruits rouge character and silkiness on the precisely balanced palate make this a very sensual pinot noir that requires no experience to fully enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Score 95 2020 Sommerhalde Bombach Weissburgunder \u201cAlthough this is still very youthful, the ripeness of the pear and citrus aromas is immediately obvious. Beautifully integrated toasty character and fine tannins plus an elegant acidity give this wonderful balance on the generous palate.<\/p>\n

Score 95 2020 Roter Berg Kenzingen Chardonnay \u201cA stunning elegant chardonnay with stacks of lemon curd, candied citrus and vanilla brioche character.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>\u201c90 points 2018 Pinot Noir dry: Medium ruby \u200b\u200bin the glass. A classic aroma profile of the grape variety of raspberry, smoke, strawberry and hibiscus on the nose. These aromas can also be found on the palate, a medium body, recognizable structure, ripe tannins, balancing acidity and a good finish.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div>

LAGENCUP White 2020 \u2013 The best white wines in Germany have been chosen. We are pleased about the award as Regional Champion Baden and the best Pinot Gris of the year 2017:<\/p>\n

\nBest Pinot Gris 2017
\n2017 Achkarrer Schlossberg, Pinot Gris, Fritz Wa\u00dfmer Winery, BADEN<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe darkest volcanic soils in the Achkarrer Schlossberg can heat up so much in summer that you could fry fried eggs on them. When Germany was still one of the wine-growing countries with rather cool weather, the Schlossberg was a bank for ripe grapes. As warming progresses, some varieties are simply becoming too hot. Since the sugar levels in Pinot Gris can quickly go through the roof given the appropriate temperatures and duration of sunshine, the winemaker must be extremely careful when working with the foliage. This not only protects the grapes from sunburn, but also delays the ripening of the grapes. This has to be carefully considered every year. Fritz Wa\u00dfmer’s Pinot Gris from Schlossberg is certainly not a lightweight, which is all the more pleasing since there are already more than enough Pinot Grigio knock-offs in this country. When the jury noted \u201csome caramel spice, candied fruit and smoke,\u201d it can be assumed that aging in small French oak barrels played a significant role. \u00bbIt’s not tasty, but it’s excellently done. Where is the veal in morel cream?” a taster asked himself and immediately gave the Schlossberg a food recommendation. Because without company he will probably quickly get lonely.
