Wasenhaus - Hohlen - Spätburgunder 2022
Weingut Wasenhaus is located in the Baden region of Germany . Christoph Wolber and Alexander Götze met in Burgundy while studying oenology at the local school in Beaune. At the same time, they both worked part-time full in some of the greatest biodynamic estates of Burgundy such as those of Pierre Morey, Leflaive, Comte Armand... Shortly after becoming roommates, they developed the project of returning to Germany and creating their cellar in Baden. In the region Christoph's home, they search for suitable plots and select them meticulously: one on the slopes of the Ehrenstetten Oelberg , and the other in the Ehrenkirchen Kirchberg . In recent years, they have bought several plots, some with very old vines. They grow their own grapes, but also buy grapes from friendly companies with a similar philosophy that are used in the production of Gutedel. Their first vintage was released in 2016 and it was a great success. Christoph and Alexander make gentle extractions, with Very little punching down during fermentation, and occasional stirring to ensure healthy fermentation from the start. Sulphur is used judiciously and is only applied after malolactic fermentation. The wines are all aged in oak barrels.
The 2022 Spätburgunder Hohlen is made from Pinot Noir grown on the Zunzinger Rosenberg, on poor, shallow, clay-limestone soil. The exposure is southwest. The plot is composed mainly of German clones from the age and different origins, half of which were planted in the 1960s in high density. Fermentation is carried out with 90% whole bunches in wooden vats. Fermentation begins with carbonic maceration with 90% whole bunches in a wooden vat, followed by a few punching downs. The wine is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, mainly used for several wines.
