Heger Spätburgunder sonett dry

A Baden Pinot Noir that shows what the Kaiserstuhl region is capable of: lively fruit, fine structure, uncomplicated drinkability.

The Dr. Heger winery in Ihringen am Kaiserstuhl is one of Baden's most reliable producers. On volcanic weathered soils—loess over basalt—they cultivate Pinot Noirs with substance and a clear sense of origin. The Sonett is the approachable entry point into the Heger range, vinified for drinking pleasure rather than aging potential.

In the glass, it displays aromas of ripe sour cherry and dark berries, underpinned by a hint of cinnamon and cardamom. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with velvety tannins and subtle acidity—no rough edges or harshness. The finish is short to medium-long, fruity and spicy.
