A singular Pinot Noir from the steep slopes of the Mosel. The wine strikes a nice balance by blending two parcels, one of which is more clay-heavy giving a more powerful expression, and the other from a slope of slate, providing something more delicate. The wine is aged for one year in a huge old 1000-litre barrel and is blended with a small portion of the same wine from the 2018 which subtly adds some more savoury, developed flavours.

Overall, this Pinot is light and spicy with an intriguing blend of red and black fruits, and a lovely refreshing finish. Jan's no-suphur cuvées differ greatly from the typical, more straight and squeaky clean Mosel reds - always brimming with energy and life
