AdamsWein Spätburgunder seit 1882 2022 - Versteigerung

AdamsWein Spätburgunder „seit 1882“ 2023 – Versteigerung is a finely crafted German Pinot Noir from Rheinhessen, created by Ingelheim winemaker Simone Adams specifically for auction via the renowned Bernkasteler Ring. Named after the founding year of the family estate, this cuvée brings together the very best barrels from several top, limestone-rich vineyard sites. It’s a wine that combines classical elegance with the precision and energy that have made AdamsWein one of the most exciting Pinot sources in Germany.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Spätburgunder shows a vibrant, translucent ruby to light garnet hue, with a delicate rim that hints at finesse rather than power. When first opened, the nose can be somewhat reserved, offering a dark, cool-toned fruit profile—think black cherry skin, wild blackberry and a touch of forest floor—wrapped in subtle, savoury spice. With time in the glass or decanter, the wine steadily unfurls: red and black berries, crushed raspberry, wild strawberry and cranberry emerge alongside hints of rose petal, dried herbs, black tea and a fine, chalky minerality. On the palate, it is precise and linear, with juicy, well-defined fruit framed by fresh acidity and ultra-fine, powdery tannins. The whole-cluster fermentation brings an airy, spicy lift—notes of white pepper, clove and gentle stemmy herbal nuances—without ever feeling green. The finish is long, saline and focused, suggesting very good aging potential for a 2023, with the structure to develop additional complexity over the next 8–12 years.

Production
The fruit for Spätburgunder „seit 1882“ is sourced from several high-calibre, limestone-rich sites around Ingelheim in Rheinhessen, a terroir that naturally lends itself to tension, finesse and a distinctive mineral backbone in Pinot Noir. Only the most promising barrels from these top parcels are selected and blended into this cuvée, effectively representing a pinnacle expression of the estate’s Spätburgunder work. The grapes are harvested carefully by hand to ensure optimal ripeness and pristine fruit health. True to Simone Adams’ philosophy, the wine is fermented 100% with whole clusters (including stems), a method she employs whenever the vintage conditions allow, to enhance aromatic complexity, structure and longevity. Gentle extraction and patient élevage in carefully chosen barrels (with thoughtfully restrained new oak) preserve purity, freshness and the fine-boned elegance that define the style.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile yet refined Spätburgunder that shines with elegant, subtly flavoured dishes. It pairs beautifully with roasted poultry (especially duck or guinea fowl), veal schnitzel, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or delicate game birds. Earthy accompaniments—such as mushroom ragout, truffled pasta, root vegetables or lentil dishes—underscore the wine’s savoury, spicy dimensions, while soft cheeses like Brie de Meaux or mild goat’s cheese complement its acidity and fine tannins. Serve slightly chilled, ideally at around 14–16 °C (57–61 °F), to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting for 30–60 minutes in its youth is strongly recommended, as the wine starts out somewhat closed and benefits noticeably from air, revealing its more charming, nuanced side over time.

Producer
AdamsWein is the project of Ingelheim winemaker Simone Adams, who has quickly become one of the standout names in Germany for terroir-driven Spätburgunder. Although the label bears her contemporary, precise signature, the estate’s roots go back to 1882, a heritage honoured in the name of this wine. Working predominantly on limestone soils around Ingelheim in Rheinhessen, she focuses on site expression, sustainable vineyard practices and meticulous, low-intervention cellar work, with whole-cluster fermentation as a stylistic hallmark. Her inclusion in prestigious auctions such as those of the Bernkasteler Ring underscores the high regard in which her wines are held and their growing importance on the German fine wine scene. With a strong emphasis on clarity, elegance and age-worthiness, AdamsWein has become an essential reference for modern German Pinot Noir.
