Weingut Eymann Spätburgunder -R- Bio 2018

Weingut Eymann Spätburgunder -R- Bio 2018 is an organically crafted German Pinot Noir from the sun‑kissed slopes of the Pfalz. This cuvée brings together Burgundy‑inspired elegance and the distinctive, slightly warmer character of southern Germany, delivering a red that is both refined and approachable. The “-R-” designation signals a more select, serious bottling within Eymann’s range, showcasing carefully chosen grapes and elevated craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the Spätburgunder -R- Bio 2018 typically shows a translucent ruby to light garnet core, with delicate brick reflections emerging at the rim as it evolves. The nose is expressive and finely etched, offering aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, intertwined with hints of rose petal, dried herbs, subtle forest floor and a gentle touch of spice from time in barrel. On the palate, this Pinot Noir leans toward finesse rather than power, with a medium body, vibrant yet well‑integrated acidity and silky tannins. Bright red fruit is framed by nuances of cranberry, pomegranate, a touch of savoury earthiness and a whisper of toasted oak, lending length and complexity. The 2018 vintage, a warm year in many parts of Germany, brings a bit more ripeness and suppleness to the mid‑palate while retaining freshness. Enjoyable now, it should continue to develop more tertiary notes—dried fruit, undergrowth and gentle spice—over the next 5–7 years when well cellared.

Production
Weingut Eymann is based in the Pfalz, a region known for its relatively warm, dry climate, loess and limestone‑rich soils and gentle vineyard slopes that are particularly well suited to Spätburgunder. As a certified organic estate, Eymann focuses on careful work in the vineyard, using organic methods to promote healthy vines and balanced yields, with selective hand harvesting to ensure only optimally ripe, intact grapes make it to the cellar. The Spätburgunder -R- Bio 2018 is typically produced with gentle handling: destemming or partial whole‑bunch use (depending on parcel and vintage), spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a controlled maceration to extract fine tannins rather than harsh structure. Aging in traditional wooden barrels or small oak barriques helps refine the wine, adding subtle spice and texture while preserving the clarity of fruit and the character of its Pfalz terroir.

Food & Serving
This organic Pfalz Pinot Noir is a versatile food partner, shining alongside roast poultry (duck, guinea fowl or chicken), pork tenderloin, veal, charcuterie and mushroom dishes such as risotto or wild mushroom tart. It also works beautifully with soft to semi‑hard cheeses—think Brie, Camembert or mild washed‑rind cheeses—and herb‑accented dishes featuring thyme, rosemary or sage. Serve at 14–16 °C to highlight its aromatic detail and freshness; if the wine is just opened and feels a bit tight, a brief 30 minutes in a carafe or some time in the glass helps the bouquet open and the texture soften.
