“Lemon zest, white pepper and soy savoriness on the nose promise spice and concentration.
It is on the textured mid-palate that the saltiness spreads, highlighting shimmers of white pepper, crushed sage and yeast.
While the core is rich and buffered, the body of the wine remains fluid, slender and taut. A class act.” ANNE KREBIEHL MW


Heinrich Hartl Pinot Noir Classic 2016            
90 pts.
“A gentle vanilla note wraps itself around ripe, red cherry on the nose, with a slight touch of smoky mocha.
The palate combines these flavors and presents them on a juicy palate held firm by a fine mesh of tannins. This has bite and ample freshness.”  ANNE KREBIEHL MW

The Heinrich Hartl Classic Pinot Noir 2016 comes from the Kräutergarten vineyard's alluvial soils with high limestone content.
Its aromatic nose offers ripe cherry fruit, raspberry compote and a subtle smoky note, which comes back in the finish redolent of cedar and tobacco.
This is a year round food friendly red that is ready to drink, but will develop further over the next 2-3 years.
