Beisiegel Spätburgunder Onkel

Pinot Noir from Norheim on the Nahe River – this is Pinot Noir grown on porphyry and sandstone, with the cool elegance that makes the Nahe Valley so special. The "uncle" from the Beisiegel winery demonstrates what this region can achieve with this Burgundian grape variety: fruit with depth, approachability with character.

The Nahe region is considered one of Germany's most diverse wine regions – geologically shaped by volcanic rock, which imparts a fine minerality and lively acidity to the wines. The Beisiegel winery from Norheim works with these natural conditions and produces "Onkel," a Pinot Noir that takes no detours: direct, honest, and easy to drink.

On the nose, ripe cherry and strawberry, followed by blackberry and a hint of roasted almond. Dark chocolate, a touch of coffee, and subtle peppery spice lend the bouquet a pleasing complexity. On the palate, the wine is soft and fruit-forward – the tannins are mild and well-integrated, the acidity fresh enough to provide structure without being harsh. The finish is long and aromatic, with a slightly spicy aftertaste.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Drinking window: now until 2027. Pairs well with pasta with tomato ragù, grilled duck breast, light roast pork, or a mature Gouda cheese. It can also be enjoyed neat – as an uncomplicated evening wine that doesn't require a special occasion.
