Description

Weingut Rieger is an exciting biodynamic winery located at the southern end of Germany’s Baden region, just a few yards from the edge of the Black Forest. Initially, this was a traditional agricultural estate with arable and livestock farming, as well as a small viticulture component. Bernhard and his wife, Josepha Rieger, increased the focus on wine in the mid-1980s, and vineyards around Betberg were purchased or leased. In 1986, the doors of their wine tavern were opened, allowing interested wine drinkers to enjoy their wines with food. Their son, Philipp, joined the winery in 2013 and continued to develop it by expanding their holdings and creating a new cellar, warehouse, and wine shop, while steadily raising the quality of the wines.

About the Producer

With vineyards worked organically since 2005, the winery and vineyards are now fully Demeter-certified biodynamic and are transitioning to become fully sustainable. The winery roof features solar panels that generate an excess of electricity, while rainwater is collected and recycled. Winemaker Markus Brauchle works with a light touch; a long, very soft press for gentle extraction and very clean must, limited batonnage, no fining and low levels of SO2, without veering into natural wine territory.

This part of Germany has one of warmest growing seasons, so as with many wineries in Baden, the focus is on the “Pinot” varieties, of which Chardonnay is one, and they also make some Chasselas, which is more commonly found over the nearby border in Switzerland, plus a couple of really good non-alcoholic options.

Tasting Notes

The Pinot Noir Vom Loss is from vines planted on gently sloping loess soils. Aged in steel tank 40%, 15% new barrique, 45% old barrels. 15% whole bunch is used. Spicy Pinot nose. Dark and ethereal aroma. Thyme, blood orange, nutmeg, blackberries, bay leaves, game, undergrowth, sour cherry. Medium-bodied with a lovely, plush, open palate. Unusual to see new oak used for a Pinot Noir at this price, confirming this Pinot offers incredible value and would outperform almost any other Pinot at this price from around the world.

How To Enjoy

This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, grilled salmon, and dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles. It also complements charcuterie and mild cheeses, making it a versatile choice for a range of refined meals.
