Tasting Note:
Refined and quietly expressive, Braunewell Pinot Noir 2020 is a German Spätburgunder with Burgundian soul and Rheinhessen charm. Aromas of red cherry, peony petal, forest floor, and soft baking spice rise from the glass. The palate is silky and structured, with fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a gentle mineral undertone. Elegant, precise, and remarkably versatile, this is a Pinot that’s as thoughtful as it is drinkable.

Food Pairings:
Pair with roast duck, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, or herbed chicken. Also excellent with Gruyère, lentils, or beetroot salad.
