The grapes for this Pinot Noir grow on calcareous clay soils on medium hills (350-650 m above sea level). Marjun is named after the hill made of calcareous rock rubble that towers over the vineyards (derived from the pre-Romanesque Indo-European „marra“ for rubble). A long winter delayed the spring awakening of the vines until the beginning of April. The budding was followed by a further cooling period, which delayed full bloom. The turbulent weather continued with a warm June and a wet July, which ideally prepared the soil for the beginning of the ripening process. Dry weeks in August with exceptionally low night temperatures and a sunny autumn ensured picture-perfect weather. There were short 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 began about 10 days later than the usual annual average and also yielded significantly lower quantities. The profound white wines of 2021 delight with their very 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 robe 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 filigree structure and delicate tannins, is cool and taut on the palate. Taste: The profile of the Marjun is rounded off by a refreshing acidity, which indicates the high altitudes of its vineyards. In the finish, this elegant Pinot Noir impresses with juicy fruitiness and persistent spiciness.
