2015 Schnaitmann Simonroth Pinot Noir Dry Organic

SIMONROTH® is the brand name for our high quality range of red wines, estab-lished with our first vintage in 1997. The term derives from a medieval settlement called "Immosrod", founded at the foot of the Kappelberg. In chronicles, the surrounding vineyards are called “the best land of the country”. Still, the grapes for these valueable red wines grow in the best VDP-classified vineyard sites.

The wine is ruby red in the core with a cherry red edge.
Very fine and complex in the nose. First autumn foliage, violets and nut notes, followed by redcurrant and sour cherry.
An elegant acidity and fine-grained tannins result in a dense and straight structure. Lots of freshness and length, the wine draws from its minerality with subtle iron notes.
