Weingut Krone, Spätburgunder Trocken, 2022

Weingut Krone’s Spätburgunder Trocken 2022 comes from Assmannshausen, one of the Rheingau’s most celebrated red-wine pockets and a rare terroir where Pinot Noir thrives beautifully in a region otherwise known for Riesling. Sourced from the Hinterkirch, Frankenthal, and Magdalenenkreuz parcels, it reflects both the site’s pedigree and the estate’s confident, finely tuned approach to Spätburgunder.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this is a poised, expressive Pinot Noir with an inviting crimson hue and a fresh, polished look. The nose opens with ripe cherry, blossom, and a bright line of red berries, especially cranberry and redcurrant, giving it a vivid, aromatic lift. The palate is juicy and graceful, combining supple fruit with a lively, mouthwatering freshness. Fine, well-integrated tannins provide subtle structure without getting in the way of the wine’s elegance, and while it is already highly enjoyable now, it should continue to gain complexity over the next few years.

Production
The wine is made from Spätburgunder grown in Assmannshausen, where the Rhine’s influence and the area’s warm, slate- and rock-influenced slopes create ideal conditions for producing refined Pinot Noir. The blend brings together fruit from the Hinterkirch, Frankenthal, and Magdalenenkreuz vineyards, all contributing to the wine’s balance, aromatic clarity, and mineral edge. Vinification details are not provided, but the result suggests a careful, terroir-focused cellar approach.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that works especially well with roasted duck, quail, mushroom dishes, herb-crusted salmon, or veal. Serve slightly chilled, around 14–16°C, and consider a short decant if opening it young to allow the aromas to fully unfold.

Producer
Weingut Krone is a Rheingau producer with vineyards in Assmannshausen, an important site for German Spätburgunder and one of the region’s standout red-wine areas. The estate’s work here highlights the exceptional potential of Pinot Noir in Germany, and this cuvée underlines that reputation with finesse, purity, and site expression.
