Pinot Noir dry "Schools"
A Pinot Noir that combines power and tranquility in one glass – dense, precise and with a finish that lingers long after.
The Ziereisen winery is located in Efringen-Kirchen in the Markgräflerland region, right on the border with Alsace and Switzerland. Hanspeter Ziereisen is considered one of Baden's most dedicated winemakers: minimal intervention in the cellar, a focus on single-vineyard wines that allow the region's limestone-shell limestone soil to speak for itself. "Schulen" is one of his single-vineyard cuvées – named after the vineyard site known for its depth of character.
On the nose, the wine displays dark forest soil, pine cones, and cool wood spice, beneath which lie dried plums and ripe wild cherries, a hint of cold smoke, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is densely bodyed with real backbone – mocha, dry spice, and again wild cherry – but never heavy. The tannins are velvety yet firm, the acidity invigorating without being overpowering. The finish is long, almost smoky, with a delicate note of dark chocolate at the end.
