von Schleinitz Spatburgunder Rose

Ref: 2161

Price: £11.33 inc VAT

Quantity:

Spatburgunder Pinot Noir Rose

A beautifully crafted pale rose made from 100% pinot Noir. This wine is stunning value with elegant fruit, delicate salmon pink colour and a rich ripe berry finnish. The winemaker Konrad Hahn has purposely kept the colour light as the skins were taken away from the juice early to ensure that the tannin balance in the wine was not overpowering.

Perfect to drink with Woodland mushrooms, light fish dishes and on its own well chilled.

"Very typical shiny salmon color. Light effer-vescence. Rich bouquet of red fruits. Mineral tone and creamy mouth-feel. A fabulous example of Pinot Noir Rosé. Drink often and always get at least two bot-tles. Enjoy by itself, or with all summery picnic foods."

History of von Schleinitz

The Hähn family has been in the wine business since 1650. In 1892 Peter Hähn moved to Kobern and started a small winery. In 1956 his grandson Karlheinz Hähn expanded the winery by buying the Freiherr von Schleinitz estate and merged the two keeping the von Schleinitz name.

He started to expand the business by being a negociant but developed his vineyards at the same time. Focusing on his own production and quality the negociant part of the business was reduced and eventually eliminated as the estate grew and became recognized for quality.

The winery received more and more attention for its quality and achieved a national award in 1979. At that time Konrad Hähn, the son of Karlheinz and now owner of the estate, was already involved with the winemaking and is continuing the devotion to quality started by his father. The quality focus of the winery was confirmed by two additional national awards in 1995 and 2001. Weingut Freiherr von Schleinitz is certainly regarded as a leading winery in the area.

Before working in the winery, Konrad Hähn had gone through internships in larger estates in Germany and France and received his Master in oenology in 1981. He assumed ownership in 1991, when his father retired. He now runs the winery together with his Colorado-born wife Laurel Kerns-Hähn. She moved to Kobern from Denver, Colorado in 1981. The family now is a happy four with the children Cara (born 1987) and Felix (born 1989).

Konrad also serves on several honorary tasting and review committees

Liquid Lunch

"Imbiber is pleased to see the supermarkets embracing lower alcohol wines, many from Germany. Their wine from most production regions can be excellent and from the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer it can be sublime.

But overall you can't beat local merchant Barrels & Bottles for it's German selection which in our region is unsurpassable"
