Bernhard Huber - Wildenstein Spätburgunder GG - Großes Gewächs 2012 - 0,75l

Bernhard Huber’s 2012 Wildenstein Spätburgunder GG is a refined, age-worthy expression of Pinot Noir from Baden, one of Germany’s leading red-wine regions. Produced from hand-harvested grapes grown on the steep Wildenstein slopes, it combines concentrated fruit with elegant structure and the pedigree expected of a VDP Großes Gewächs. The wine reflects Huber’s important role in establishing Baden Pinot Noir among Germany’s finest red wines.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red in colour with youthful violet highlights, this Spätburgunder opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe cherries, dark forest berries and subtle spice. Delicate roasted notes and a hint of vanilla add depth without overshadowing the wine’s vivid fruit character. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful yet finely balanced, with lively acidity, silky integrated tannins and a gently mineral edge. The finish is long, elegant and savoury, marked by lingering berry fruit and refined spice. With more than a decade of bottle age, the 2012 vintage is drinking beautifully now and should continue to develop gracefully for several more years when well stored.

Production
The grapes come from the steep Wildenstein site in Baden and were carefully hand-harvested to ensure that only fully ripe, healthy fruit was selected. The wine’s concentrated fruit, polished tannins and subtle roasted and vanilla nuances suggest a considered élevage designed to preserve the character of the site while adding texture and complexity. Detailed vinification and maturation specifications are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C, ideally after allowing the bottle to rest upright and the wine to breathe. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, particularly if the wine shows youthful tannin or sediment. Its depth and freshness make it an excellent partner for roast beef, venison, duck, lamb and other richly flavoured meat dishes, while mature hard cheeses provide an elegant alternative.

Producer
Bernhard Huber was one of the pioneering figures behind the rise of high-quality German Spätburgunder, demonstrating the potential of Baden’s distinctive sites for profound, age-worthy Pinot Noir. Based in Malterdingen, the estate is recognised for its meticulous vineyard work and for producing structured, terroir-driven wines that combine Burgundian elegance with the character of southern Germany. The Wildenstein Großes Gewächs represents one of the producer’s most distinguished bottlings.
