This is an estate we were introduced to by Klaus Peter Keller. Peter Leipold, the young son who is taking over the winery, simply has “the touch,” I don’t know how else to say it. Nearly every wine I’ve tasted from the estate is incredibly linear, light, incisive and penetrating yet also electric. Two words keep coming to mind: saturation and evaporation. The wines have a super-fine, glycerine density to them, yet then they are gone, weightless… only the energy reverberating. These wines are Silvaner as mineral scalpel; drink carefully.
This is the basic or “Villages” Level Pinot Noir. 20-year old German clones, the barrels are used barique from Liger-Belair and larger fuder barrels made from Frankonian oak. Cordon pruning like in Bordeaux as opposed to Guyot which is normal for the other pinots. 100% destemmed and that combined with the clonal material make for a fruitier, more forward style of Pinot.
