Weingut Friedrich Becker Spätburgunder 2019

Weingut Friedrich Becker Spätburgunder 2019 is a standout expression of German Pinot Noir, offering remarkable freshness, mineral drive, and pure red-fruit character at entry-level price point. Sourced from old vines and crafted with the precision Becker is known for, it delivers a refined, Burgundy-like style that overdelivers in both elegance and complexity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a vibrant, translucent ruby color that hints at its lifted and graceful profile. The nose is beautifully expressive, with aromas of rhubarb, redcurrant, cherry, raspberry, and a distinct chalky, mineral note that gives the wine extra definition and class. The palate is fresh and cool-toned, with lively red fruit, fine acidity, and a supple texture that keeps everything precise and balanced. The mineral backbone and gentle oak influence add structure without weight, and while it is already very approachable, it should also develop nicely over the next few years, gaining extra nuance and depth.

Production
The grapes come from vines up to 40 years old in Schweigen, where limestone-rich soils help shape the wine’s fine mineral character and freshness. Harvesting and sorting are done by hand to ensure only healthy fruit reaches the cellar, followed by pressing and fermentation, with final maturation in a combination of small and large French oak barrels. The wine is bottled unfiltered, preserving its purity and textural detail.

Food & Serving
This Spätburgunder is a natural match for duck, roast chicken, veal, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and lighter game. Serve it slightly chilled, ideally around 14–16°C, and consider a short decant if opened young to allow the aromatics to fully unfold.

Producer
Friedrich Becker is one of the most respected names in the Pfalz, known for producing Pinot Noir and other wines with precision, restraint, and a clear sense of place. The estate has built a strong reputation for its cool-climate style and limestone-driven elegance, and Becker is widely regarded as a benchmark producer for German Spätburgunder.
