Description

Wine

In the bouquet, voluminous, dark fruits such as blueberries and plums, but also raspberries and aniseed, paired with some black pepper and cloves. depth and warmth. Bright, fresh red fruits on the palate: cranberries and red cherries. The tannins are soft, pleasant and lively, they offer grip without astringency. Elegant and quite intense. The finish is long and peppery. This is a youthful wine with a lot of time ahead of it – but already irresistibly delicious.

Region

Baden is situated in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, bordering France to the west and Switzerland to the south. It stretches from the northern part of the Black Forest to the northern outskirts of the city of Basel.

Baden is known for its vibrant wine culture, and various wine festivals and events take place throughout the year. These festivals provide an excellent opportunity for locals and visitors alike to taste and enjoy the region’s wines.

Climate & Terroir

The region benefits from a relatively mild climate, thanks to its proximity to the Rhine River and the shelter provided by the Black Forest to the east. The diverse terroir of the region, including various soil types and microclimates, allows for the cultivation of a wide range of grape varieties.

Vineyard

Sandy loam is held by light limestone marl, which is based on a thick layer of loam. In the depths lie the rocky ridges of the Black Forest foothills. The Sommerhalde Bombach is located in the eastern part of the Breisgau region, facing south, directly adjacent to the Black Forest. The wines benefit from the strong sunshine and the nocturnal streams of cold air that blow in from the Black Forest. The noticeable difference in temperature between day and night promotes a slow ripening of the pinot grapes with finely balanced harmony and fruity aromas.

Ideal drinking temperature 16 °C.
