Typically German pinot noir, brimming with elegance and finesse.
"It can compete with the best red Bourgognes and is a what I'd call a Best Buy" - Wine Advocate
Mainly based on French clones cultivated on mighty loess layers over Muschelkalk subsoils, Julian Huber's 2014 Spätburgunder trocken is the first vintage the young man had to process after the early death of his father Bernhard, one of the doyen of German Spätburgunder. Fermented in large oak vats and aged for more than a year in used barriques, this is a beautifully pure and freshflavored Pinot with well-articulated berry aromas and some spicy forest aromas. Silky textured, finessed and very elegant, the 2014 is a well-structured, vital and medium-bodied Pinot with precise fruit, fine tannins and a lot of character. It can compete with the best red Bourgognes and is a what I'd call a Best Buy.
Stephen Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, February 2017
Huber's Baden Pinot Noir is the winery's regional wine and comes from young vines between six and 12 years old. Even for this basic wine the estate conducts green harvesting in order to reduce the crop to approximately 65 hl/ha. It spends 25 days in stainless steel with 15 to 20% whole bunches, then a year or so in 2nd and 3rd use oak.
