Tasting Notes

Intense nose of red fruits; blackcurrants, cherry and raspberry. Well-structured palate, with integrated tannins and a hint of spiciness.

Produced in the far south of Alsace, in the village of Steinbach, historically renowned for its high quality Pinot Noir (formerly called Steinbacher Roda, meaning 'the Red from Steinbach'). With the right ripeness, this wine offers an excellent ageing potential.
