Becker Landgraf Gau-Odernheimer Pinot Noir 2020

Looking for an introduction to German Pinot Noir, then your search is over with this example from Becker Landgraf classic in style and feel. It delivers a powerful dose of brooding dark cherry fruits, 15 months in 30% new French oak adding a spicy backbone. Distinctly juicy in style, fresh acidity then underpins flavours of fruit pastilles and exotic Middle Eastern spices with a sleek and satin mouthfeel delivered over a lingering finish. It’s a food-friendly wine well suited to quail risotto.
