Röttgerding ' Pinot Noir 2022 '

Tim Röttgerging is the great promise. Besides his job as cellar master of the famous Heymann-Löwenstein, Tim also manages a mere hectare of family vineyards in the Terrassenmosel, including in the Grosse Lagen Röttgen and Roth Lay. His first harvest was in 2020, and 2023 is now on the market (while neighbours are already selling their 2024 vintage). Tim doesn't like to release his wines too young; he believes they need at least six months in the bottle. In the vineyard, the young (32-year-old) Tim works almost rigidly. Even his employer, Reinhard, is impressed. Only the best fruit, ripe and without botrytis, goes into the cellar. Not as ripe as at HL; Tim prefers his own wines to be a bit leaner. And dry, moreover, bone dry. Through deliberate oxidation, pressing, and wood aging, the cellar also brings out the terroir more than the already strong primary Riesling character. The wines are pristine, precise, and indeed ripe. In addition to Riesling, there is also delicious Spätburgunder, a ripe red from the Mosel without the green rawness. Confident wines with class and potential. Röttgerding has gained a proud importer.
