2024 Hochheim Reichestal Spätburgunder trocken Clemens Rosenkranz Rheingau 0,75l

The 2024 Hochheim Reichestal Spätburgunder trocken from Clemens Rosenkranz is a site-designated Pinot Noir from one of the Rheingau’s distinctive wine villages. Rather than relying on power, oak or heavy extraction, it focuses on elegance, freshness and transparent red-fruit character—a refined expression of Hochheim with excellent drinkability.

Tasting Notes
Bright and finely scented, this Spätburgunder opens with sour cherry, redcurrant and raspberry, followed by hints of wild strawberry, violet and rosehip. With air, subtle notes of black tea, woodland earth and delicate spice add depth without overshadowing the wine’s freshness. The palate is juicy, cool-toned and precise, with lively acidity carrying the clear red-fruit flavours. Fine, gently grippy tannins provide shape and length, while the finish leaves impressions of sour cherry, red berries and a lightly bitter, savoury spice note. It is approachable now, though its acidity and structure should allow it to develop gracefully over the next few years.

Production
From the Reichestal site in Hochheim, this Lagewein reflects the transparent, fresh style associated with carefully made Rheingau Spätburgunder. The challenging and changeable 2024 growing season demanded attentive vineyard work and rigorous selection, particularly for the sensitive Pinot Noir grape. Detailed information on the specific soil composition, harvesting method and vinification is not provided, but the finished wine clearly prioritises finesse, freshness and restrained extraction over weight and overt oak influence.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, around 14–16°C, to highlight its vibrant fruit and elegant structure. It pairs beautifully with duck breast, guinea fowl, veal and roasted poultry, as well as mushroom dishes, porcini risotto, truffle pasta and roasted root vegetables. Its freshness also makes it a versatile companion for bread and charcuterie, and it is approachable enough to enjoy on its own. Decanting is not essential; a brief 15–30 minutes of air can help reveal its floral and savoury nuances.
