Weingut Friedrich Becker Description
This vineyard is south-located to Weißenburg in Alsace/France. Its named after the former outpost of the monastery there. The soil is based on a large limestone rock with a very low circulation of clayey loamy topsoil.
Tasting Note: On the nose aroma of wild berries, juniper berry, red pepper and tobacco, On the palate dense with good structure, elegant and juicy with length and well balanced tannins.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2017 Sankt Paul Spätburgunder GG is pure, fresh and intense yet always refined and elegant on the deep and finely plummy nose with its tobacco leaf aromas. Silky, pure and fresh on the palate, this is an extraordinary, sustainable yet always pure and transparent Pinot with very fine tannins and a long and intense finish. This is finer and more delicate compared to the massive Heydenreich, and it's more "French" compared to the Kammerberg KB. A fabulous Pinot from comparably younger vines.
