Additional Information:  Jean Stodden is one of the top producers of Pinot Noir in the world and have been making wine since 1578. Only 3% of their nine hectares are old vine Riesling.

In the most Northern Part of Germany, The Ahr river and the Eifel mountain range create the warm yet moderate microclimate ideal for producing top shelf Pinot Noir. Due to its Northern location, the days during the growing season are immensely long, but the intensity of the sun is less than that of France’s Burgundy region.

The 560 hectares of the Jean Stodden estate are planted across three mountain vineyards; Recher Herrenberg, Dernauer Hardtberg and Ahrweiler Rosenthal. Vines grow on extremely steep slopes that can only be tended by hand with some parcels requiring mountain climbing skills to be reached. The orientation of the locations is south and southeast. The soils are a mixture of sand and clay, sometimes with a very high proportion of stone.

Only 6% of his wines are exported outside of Germany.  

This cuvée is a blend from vineyards located in the Ahr region matured in old 1000-litre oak casks. This blend from vineyards situated in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Dernau and Rech.
