Breisgau Weiss Trocken 2021 Bernhard Huber 75 cl

Description

History

Bernhard Huber’s professional career and connection to his land are closely linked to the production of Pinot Noir, known locally as Spätburgunder. The Baden region has a long tradition in cultivating this noble variety of red grape. Already in the 13th century, Cistercian monks who dedicated themselves to research and microzonation noted the strong pedoclimatic analogy between Burgundy and this German region, located between Alsace, the Rhine and the Black Forest. Bernhard, right from the start, understood the importance of these historical roots and started a project to restructure local viticulture, which was still too anchored to the cooperative realities of the decades before the war. Today, Bernhard’s wife Barbara and son Julian produce 5 different varieties of wine, most notably Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which have been called “the best in Germany and among the best ever” by Jancis Robinson .
