The palate is juicy and concentrated, with peppery spice, a gentle bitter edge and noticeable but well-integrated oak. Fine-grained tannins remain youthful, while a harmonious mineral acidity carries the ripe fruit into a long finish.\n\nAlready approachable and beautifully balanced, this full-bodied Pinot Noir should gain further finesse and elegance with time in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSonnenberg extends across the German-French border; on the French side, the vineyard is known as Kostert. Its soils are predominantly clay, marl and limestone. The grapes are selectively hand-harvested, destemmed and spontaneously fermented, with the skins regularly submerged in the must to encourage greater extraction. The wine matures for 18 months in a combination of new and used barriques and is bottled unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 15–17°C with roast duck, game birds, grilled pork or mushroom dishes. Its concentration and fine tannins also make it a good match for gently seasoned lamb. A short decant can help open the wine while it is young; handle it gently and taste as it develops.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Jülg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55262070767953,"sku":"VC-8703069","price":57.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/weingut-julg-spatburgunder-sonnenberg-kt-grosses-gewachs-2021-0.jpg?v=1791750287","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/weingut-julg-spatburgunder-sonnenberg-kt-grosses-gewachs-2021-1","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
