Thorle Spatburgunder 2016
Rheinhessen, GermanyThe new German wine order includes pinot noir, and the wines have taken a quantum quality leap in the past five years. The Thorle ‘spätburgunder’ is aged in 85 percent neutral German oak barrels mixed with 15 percent new French oak, just enough to give the wine a centre line. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined. The colour is pale ruby, the nose aromatic with savoury, mineral floral notes that jump from the glass. The attack is juicy and savoury mixing intense wild red fruits with dried herbs and ripe juicy cherries. An impressive mix of Okanagan and New Zealand with a twist of Burgundy. It’s the next world of wine. Duck fried rice and mushrooms would be a fit.Tasted: 11 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $25.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
