Lisa Bunn Nierstein Pinot Noir from the Rotliegend

A Pinot Noir from Nierstein that shows what Rheinhessen's red sandstone can do: structure, depth and an unmistakable mineral vein.

Lisa Bunn Winery in Nierstein works with vineyards situated on the characteristic Rotliegend – a subsoil of reddish Permian sandstone that imparts an earthy spiciness and firm structure to the wine. The winery is one of the region's most reliable producers of varietally typical, handcrafted Pinot Noir.

In the glass, it displays a medium-deep cherry red color. The nose offers ripe sour cherry, a touch of raspberry jam, and a delicate hint of cedar and clove—typical of barrel-aged Pinot Noir. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, lively acidity, and a pleasantly dry finish with a slightly earthy note.
