Fritz Waßmer Spätburgunder M 2022

Fritz Waßmer Spätburgunder M 2022 is an ambitious red wine from Baden, where Fritz Waßmer has established himself as one of Germany's most renowned producers of Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). "M" stands for Meisterstück – masterpiece – and marks the house's specially selected Pinot Noir, vinified with great care and respect for the traditions of Burgundy, but with a clear Baden terroir.

🔸 Appearance:
Elegant ruby ​​red color with clear, vibrant hues.

🔸 Fragrance:
Intense and complex nose with layers upon layers of red berries – cherries, raspberries and ripe strawberries – complemented by floral tones, forest floor, light spice and discreet notes from the barrel aging such as vanilla, cedar and roasted coffee.

🔸 Taste:
Silky and refined in the mouth with a nice balance between fresh fruit, mineral precision and well-integrated tannins. The wine has a juicy core of red cherries and blackberries, nicely supported by spicy complexity and a touch of smoke and tobacco from the barrel. The finish is long, persistent and characterized by both elegance and strength.

🔸 Style and character:
A Pinot Noir of the absolute top class that shows how high Spätburgunder can reach in Baden. It combines finesse, freshness and depth in a way that places it among the most sought-after German red wines.

🔸 Serving and storage:
Should be served at 15–17°C in large Burgundy glasses to reveal all the nuances. Can be enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit, but will develop further complexity over 8–12 years. Perfect companion to game, beef, mushroom dishes and aged cheeses.

Alcohol percentage: 13.5%
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder)
