From old vines near Schweigen in the southern Pfalz, it combines Burgundian poise with the freshness and mineral character of its German home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransparent ruby in the glass, it opens with fresh raspberry, red cherry and redcurrant, joined by delicate notes of violet, woodland and crushed limestone. The palate is lively and juicy, balancing bright red fruit with crisp acidity, silky tannins and a persistent mineral edge; subtle spice adds detail to the long, clean finish. Enjoy its freshness now or allow it a few years in the cellar for further development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from vines up to 40 years old around Schweigen, close to the French border, where limestone-rich soils and a favorable climate encourage ripeness while preserving freshness. They are hand-harvested and carefully sorted, then gently vinified to retain the purity of the fruit and the character of the site. The wine matures in a combination of small and large French oak barrels, and is bottled unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly cool, around 14–16°C, with roast chicken, duck, pork tenderloin or mushroom dishes. Its bright acidity and fine tannins also suit charcuterie and gently seasoned dishes. A short decant of around 20–30 minutes can help open the aromas, though it is also enjoyable straight from the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor decades, Friedrich Becker has been among Germany’s leading producers of Pinot Noir, earning a devoted following for expressive, terroir-driven Spätburgunder.
