The grapes for this Pinot Noir thrive on calcareous clay soils on medium hills (350-650 m above sea level). The Marjun is named after the hill of calcareous rock rubble that towers over the vineyards (derived from the pre-Roman Indo-European “marra” for rubble). A long winter postponed the spring awakening of the vines until the beginning of April. The bud break was followed by further cooling, which delayed full flowering. Things continued to be turbulent with a warm June and a wet July, which prepared the soil ideally for the beginning of ripening. Dry weeks in August with exceptionally low night temperatures and a sunny autumn ensured picture-perfect weather. There were brief periods of rain at the end of September and beginning of October, but many warm days and increasingly cooler nights dominated the harvest season. This started around 10 days later than the usual annual average and also produced significantly lower quantities. The profound white wines of 2021 impress with their pronounced freshness and particularly fine fruit aromas, while the concentrated red wines impress with a ripe tannin structure and fresh fruit body. Color: Marjun presents itself in a ruby to garnet red color and develops a harmonious scent of wild berries in the glass. Smell: Plum and cherry, underlined by a spicy herbal note. This fruity and juicy Pinot Noir, which impresses with its delicate structure and delicate tannins, is cool and firm on the palate. Taste: The profile of Marjun is rounded off by a refreshing acidity, which indicates the high altitudes of its wineries. In the finish, this elegant Pinot Noir impresses with its juicy fruitiness and persistent spice.
