Prestigious Négoce German Pinot Noirs
While Sven Enderle has done some viticulture consulting for other wineries in different countries since leaving Enderle & Moll, he has also been building up this new project - his solo venture.
Sven works with négoce grapes sourced from Baden as well as the Mosel (only the Müller Thurgau and Rosé). Here the Müller Thurgau comes from a 50 year old parcel on slate soils giving it a mineralic edge. The Pinot Noir he sources comes from all over the prestigious Baden region in Germany, all the way from Weil am Rhein to Heilbronn, which are all mostly limestone and chalk soils. His Lemberger, the German word for Blaufränkisch comes from Keuper soils, which is a type of chalky ground found near Heilbronn. In the cellar, everything is done by hand and with whole bunches, with 25mg/l of sulphur just before bottling for stability.
