2016 Spätburgunder Hölle, Weingut Thörle

2016 Spätburgunder Hölle, Weingut Thörle

Ref: THOR160
Red  |  Still  |  13.5% ABV

The estate of Thörle is based in Saulheim in the Rheinhesson and their recent Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder in German) vintages have been proclaimed as some of the finest reds produced in the country. Thörle has been run by brothers Johannes and Christoph since 2006. They work organically and are moving towards biodynamic culture. And, of course, besides Pinot Noir the brothers also grow Riesling. Yet this is Riesling from limestone: an altogether different and more Burgundian prospect to wines from elsewhere in Germany that might be grown on slate or loam.

Tasting Notes

"More root and sous-bois character than the other 2016 Thorle pinot noirs. This is so fine and so deep, so cool and so elegant that you might easily assume it comes from the Côte d'Or! Great tannins build like a giant wave and sweep you through the super- long finish. Drink or hold. 96/100." jamessuckling.com

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
