Carsten dit que c'est son meilleur vin...
Exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Weissburgunder & Silvaner
With experience in Burgundy as well as a love for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Casten Saalwächter is really showcasing a Burgundian style to his wines that is pushing low-intervention German wine to new heights.
Make no mistake... this is a new wave German producer making refined natural wines that are extremely gastronimic, age worthy and completable with fine French Chablis and Grand Gru Burgundy wines.
We actually had to double check the price of his entry level Spätburgunder to check this Pinot Noir really is this price - as after ONE sniff, we knew it was too complex to be under 20 euros... but we were wrong. Because of that, we claim it to be one of the best value Nerd wines ever... and insane value with its ashy nose and mineralic, structured mouthfeel. Is this a whole new world of German Pinot Noir? YES. YES IT IS. CARSTEN SAALWÄCHTER is a game changer.

Carsten Saalwächter - Burgundian wines in Germany
Saalwächter has plots in both Ingelheim as well as the very steep, slate driven slopes of Assmannshäuser Höllenberg which he describes as real Grand Cru plots.
Assmannshausen features extremely steep slate slopes with gradients of up to 70% combined with ancient vines form an unmistakable foundation for Assmannshausen Pinot Noir, especially from the Höllenberg.
With Ingelheim, Carsten has small plots of land, featuring many different microclimates in combination with a barren shell limestone soil that offer a great stage for white and red Burgundy varieties. The Silvaner from here is Carten's most special grape, and his favourite release. It is meant to be mind-blowingly good and we can't wait to try it!
