The 2023 vintage in Lahr was characterized by extreme weather conditions. Ultimately, the red wines, in particular, were able to benefit from the warm ripening phase and are now complex, fruity, and highly structured. The nose unfolds with a multifaceted interplay of aromas of red and black berries, ripe cherries, delicate undergrowth, beetroot, and a hint of leather. A smoky note and hints of tobacco lend depth and character. On the palate, the wine is firm and juicy, with cool, ripe fruit. The tannins are present without being overpowering, giving the wine structure and good grip. Despite its power, the wine remains consistently elegant and balanced.
