WasenhausSpätburgunder Kanzel 2022 (750ml)

The Kanzel is a site high up on the Ehrenstetter Ölberg, above the Möhlin; the soil here is clay and limestone. The Kanzel is a part of the old Ölberg with a slightly more eastern exposition; thus the site is a bit colder and less exposed to the sun. Half of the vines here are a French selection massale planted by Dr. Henrik Möbitz (the entire parcel Möbitz farmed was sold to Wasenhaus); the other half of the vines are older German clones. Fermented 40% whole clusters, with a bit of carbonic fermentation and then transferred to an open-vat for a classic fermentation with minimal punchdowns. The wine was aged in mainly used French oak barrels for 16 months.
