Wasenhaus 'Kanzel' Spatburgunder 2023

Wasenhaus 'Kanzel' Spatburgunder 2023Notes from the importer: A Pinot Noir on limestone clay soil grown on the Ehrenstetter Olberg. The Kanzel is a part of the old Olberg with a slighter more east orientation as the Mhlin, directly on the top of a limestone cliff. This vineyard is a bit colder and less exposed to the sun, half is from a French selection massale planted by Dr. Henrik Mobitz and half from old vines from German clones.
