Adams Ingelheim Sptburgunder Heerweg 2021

Tasting note: In the glass, the dry Pinot Noir Heerweg from Simone Adams
shines in an intense ruby red. The bouquet smelled wonderfully of cherries, red berries, elderberry, spices, chocolate, as well as cool, ethereal, balsamic, herbal notes. In the mouth full of finesse and elegance. Very juicy, with a nice body and a fine, supple tannin structure. The mild acid brings a nice freshness and tension. Note: The Heerweg vineyard is located below the Auf dem Haun location, at the end of the slope. The subsoil there consists predominantly of limestone with a loess-clay layer. The Pinot Noir grapes are selectively harvested and brought to the winery in small boxes. There they are partly destemmed. The blacks not only accelerate fermentation, they also deacidify the wine, resulting in a mouthfeel that is both dense, slim and fresh. The mashing time is up to three weeks. Spontaneous fermentation and malolactic acid degradation in barriques with a new wood content of up to 20 percent. Subsequent maturation phase for 18 months. Clarification through sedimentation. No filtration before final filling to the bottle. Simone Adams does not use any fining or stabilizing agents. Only a very small amount of sulfur is added. Food recommendation: Tastes best with braised ox cheeks or hard cheeses such as Comt, Gruyre, Manchego and Parmesan.
