SCHLOSSGUT BACHTOBEL Pinot Noir N° 2 AOC Thurgau 2018

Specially chosen grapes are stored for six to ten days at 5° Celsius in 5000 litre oak vats from Burgundy. This pre-fermentation cold maceration gives the final wine a more complex fruity flavour. During fermentation with a specially selected pure yeast culture from Burgundy, the top of the marc (the cap) is pounded six times a day by hand (“pigeage à main”).

Stored for at least 12 months in 800 litre oak casks before being carefully filtered and bottled.

Tasting notes: Dark forest fruits and an aroma of forest floor – called “sous bois” in Burgundy – are the distinguishing features of this flavorsome, delicate Pinot Noir.

Gastronomy: Goes well with red meat, game, and cheese. Is also good accompaniment to Asian dishes

Serving temperature: 14–16°C

Storage: 6 to 9 years
