VILLA WOLF PINOT NOIR 2007 VILLA WOLF PINOT NOIR 2007

The Villa Wolf label is used for a value-priced line of varietal wines that combine fruit grown at Ernst Loosen's J.L. Wolf estate-grown fruit with grapes from contracted growers in the Pfalz region. This is a very grown-up Pinot for the price. It is an excellent wine for every day drinking at the dinner table.







VINEYARD
The Pfalz region lies between the Haardt Mountains and the Rhine River, directly north of France's Alsace region. As in Alsace, the mountains protect the area from harsh Atlantic weather, making it one of the warmer and drier areas of Germany. Consequently, achieving full ripeness is possible in nearly every vintage. Mature, fully ripened fruit is the key to making concentrated dry-style wines that have enough body to balance the naturally high acidity.

The grapes for this wine are picked from the "Middle-Hardt" region.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Pinot Noir

VINIFICATION
J L Wolf wines are all treated to minimal handling to maximise the ability of the varied vineyards to shine through in the wines.

The grapes are whole cluster pressed before undergoing a long, slow fermentation with natural yeasts.

The wine is made made in large, neutral oak casks for depth and complexity before undergoing six months of barrique ageing gives it a smoky depth and a nice touch of earthy tannins.

TASTING NOTE
The Villa Wolf Pinot Noir is pale cherry red in colour, with a herby, savoury mineral nose, with some lightly aromatic cherry notes. Smooth elegant palate with a hint of spice,backed by red cherry fruit and an earthy complexity.
