Weingut Keßler Spätburgunder trocken 2021

A solid very approcable Pinot Noir from Rheinhessen in Germany.

🍷 Tasting notes

Colour & appearance

Light to medium ruby.

Aroma / Bouquet

Red berries like cherry, raspberry and dried herbs. A subtle vanilla can be observed influenced by he barrel ageing.

Palate (taste)

Pretty elegant, lighter body; moderate tannins—not aggressive, and very smooth; dry; decent acidity giving freshness. A somewhat gentle, more delicate style of Pinot Noir rather than big, powerful red.

Finish

Clean, moderately long; fruit lingers; oak influence shows in the aftertaste (light spice and toast).

🍽️ Food pairing

This kind of wine should pair well with

• Lighter meats: roasted chicken, pork, veal
• Game birds - Mushrooms / earthy flavours
• Grilled vegetables
• Soft cheeses (brie, camembert, etc.)
• Dishes with light sauces - nothing too heavy or very spicy.

🧩 Takeaway

Excellent value for an organic Rheinhessen Pinot Noir with barrel ageing. At just €10.90, it offers remarkable quality for the price. With a few years of bottle ageing, the wine will gain complexity and richness while its acidity becomes more integrated.
