Hebsacker Linnenbrunnen Spätburgunder GG trocken - Jürgen Ellwanger

The elegant Hebsacker Linnenbrunnen Spätburgunder GG from Jürgen Ellwanger glides into the glass with a bright light red color. Swiveling the wine glass, one can perceive a first-rate balance in this red wine, as it does not stand out on the walls of the glass as watery or syrupy or liqueur-like. This single varietal German wine shows wonderfully complex notes of plums, blackberries, morello cherries and plums in the glass. These are joined by hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate and cocoa bean.

On the palate, the Hebsacker Linnenbrunnen Spätburgunder GG from Jürgen Ellwanger opens wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. There is dry and really dry. This red wine belongs to the latter group, as it was vinified with only 1.9 g of residual sugar. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Hebsacker Linnenbrunnen Spätburgunder GG flatters with a pleasing palate sensation without lacking freshness at the same time. The finale of this red wine with good aging potential from the wine-growing region of Württemberg, more precisely from Hebsack, finally delights with a beautiful finish.

Vinification of the Jürgen Ellwanger Hebsacker Linnenbrunnen Pinot Noir GG

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Pinot Noir. Only immaculate grape material was brought in for this wonderfully balanced single-varietal wine from Jürgen Ellwanger. The ripening of the grapes for this Pinot Noir wine is influenced to a large extent by the climate of the growing region. In Württemberg, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly long and evenly ripened grapes and rather moderate must weight. At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for the Hebsacker Linnenbrunnen Spätburgunder GG are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machines. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by a maturation of several months.
