AdamsWein, Spatburgunder Heerweg (1er Cru), 2022 CS20230730 Subtle earthy undertones add complexityThis is Pinot Noir (Spatburgunder) from Heerweg, a west facing, limestone heavy site in Ingelheim classified at the 1er Cru level, and it is Simone Adams's benchmark red. She farms biodynamically and ferments with whole clusters, aiming for elegance and lift rather than weight. The result is a cool climate German Pinot with real transparency and grip. From the warm 2022 vintage, expect a touch more generosity of fruit.
