Fred Prinz Spätburgunder 2023

Fred Prinz Spätburgunder is a refined Rheingau Pinot Noir that combines purity, precision, and a distinctly modern organic approach. From one of Germany’s most talked-about young producers, it offers elegant red-fruit character and a mineral-driven style that reflects both the region and the estate’s uncompromising quality focus.

Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, transparent ruby color with the delicate clarity typical of well-made Spätburgunder. On the nose, it shows fresh red berries, cherry, subtle spice, and a fine earthy-mineral edge, while the palate is silky and precise, with lively acidity, restrained tannins, and a clean, polished finish. This is a wine built more on finesse than power, and it should drink beautifully in its youth while also gaining complexity over the next few years. With proper cellaring, the wine can develop more savory depth, forest-floor nuance, and a softer, more rounded texture.

Production
Sourced from the Rheingau, the wine benefits from one of Germany’s most respected cool-climate growing regions, where slopes and soils help preserve freshness and aromatic detail in Pinot Noir. Fred Prinz works organically and uses strict vineyard control, including green harvesting to reduce yields and increase concentration, resulting in grapes with strong flavor intensity and balance. The vinification is geared toward purity and precision, allowing the character of the fruit and site to remain at the center of the wine.

Food & Serving
This Spätburgunder is an excellent match for duck, roast chicken, turkey, mushroom dishes, pork tenderloin, and salmon. Serve it slightly chilled, ideally around 14–16°C, and consider a short decant if opened young to help the aromas unfold more fully.
