Matthias Gaul Pinot Noir Asselheim

Matthias Gaul Pinot Noir Asselheim – this is not a wine that modestly stays in the background. This red from the Palatinate won the German Red Wine Award in 2017 and demonstrates what top German winemakers can achieve with Pinot Noir when location, craftsmanship, and passion come together.

The single vineyard site of Asselheim lies on calcareous soils that give the Pinot Noir exactly what it needs: minerality, structure, and the prerequisites for true depth. Matthias Gaul works the grapes by hand, vinifies gently, and gives the wine the time it deserves. The result is a Pinot Noir with elegant red berry fruit, subtle spice, and a body that maintains a remarkable balance of power and finesse.

Serve it at 16 to 18 °C – then it unfolds its full spectrum of aromas. It is particularly harmonious with:

• Game dishes such as venison roast or wild duck
• Lamb chops with herb crust
• Mature cheeses such as Comté or Brie de Meaux

A wine that sparks conversations and makes evenings memorable.
