Pinot Noir Spielmann
Tasting note
Words are truly inadequate for a wine that leaves us speechless this year. Extraordinary! Vibrant! Transcendent! It plays with emotions, has rough edges and yet a unique harmony and balance. Complex, spicy, primarily fruity and vegetal with a mineral acidity and tannin structure and tremendous length. The only downside: there are only 582 bottles of it.

Since 2013, we have vinified the grapes from the Spielmann vineyard to produce a single-vineyard Pinot Noir. The Burgundy clones in Spielmann lignify early, so the conditions are ideal for fermenting them with an 80% whole grape content.

Spielmann
Spielmann is the easternmost of our three low-lying vineyards and can be seen directly from our winery. Georg planted the 26-acre vineyard with two different clones of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, which produce superb grapes for a legendary wine.
This is a vineyard of great elegance and feminine energy. It has always been passed down the maternal line, most recently from Annetta Thöny to her four granddaughters: Salome, Mirjam, Bettina and Nadja. Located at an altitude of 529 metres, the Spielmann vineyard has a high proportion of clay, slate and loam, and is the epitome of small-scale Pinot Noir production. In 2005, we planted the 26-acre vineyard with low-yield, high-quality Burgundy Pinot Noir clones 777 and 943. Since 2013, we have produced an average of just two barriques, or 600 bottles, of this unique Spielmann Pinot Noir from these vines.
