In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Deep ruby with a layered bouquet of ripe dark cherry and plum balanced against the gentle toast of three years in barriques. On the palate, silky and well-structured: the tannins are refined rather than aggressive, making it genuinely approachable now yet built to age. A wine that rewards patience, proving still reds gain real depth when different vintages are blended with intention.

The Winery — Dreissigacker

Jochen Dreissigacker has earned considerable praise in Germany and abroad, anchoring a 45-hectare organic estate in Rheinhessen at the forefront of the region's revival. Since 2010 his wines carry organic certification and employ biodynamic methods throughout much of the vineyard. In the cellar, his philosophy is rigorously natural: he ferments using only wild yeasts and harvests exclusively fully ripe fruit, avoiding chaptalisation or sweetening additives. This vintage marries fruit from Bechtheim's finest sites—Hasensprung, Geyersberg, Rosengarten—drawing the 2021 and 2022 vintages together. Sixty percent Pinot Noir and forty percent St Laurent were aged in barrel with precision, two-thirds new wood, before final blending applied with Champagne-house discipline.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Pair this wine with roasted game, duck, or beef with brown butter and herbs: the wine's structure and acidity carry it through richer autumn fare. It sits comfortably alongside our Light Red Wine selection, but also offers a compelling introduction to what Rheinhessen is becoming—a region shedding its bulk-wine reputation and emerging as a serious source of character-driven reds. If you're exploring quality Pinot Noir from beyond France or the Pacific, this multi-vintage German take offers real value and drinking pleasure. Organic certified, screwcap. Perfect for Sunday lunch or an intimate evening.
