Oeko-Weingut Zang, Pinot Noir Private Reserve, organic wine, red, 2012

Oeko-Weingut Zang, Chardonnay, "Kapellenstueck", organic wine, white, 2021

There were only two barrels that performed significantly better in the preliminary tasting, simply sensational! Father and son Zang, who looked after the vines in the vineyard together, decided to let this wine mature for 10 years in barrels on the fine yeast. The Oeko-Weingut Zang Pinot Noir Private Reserve was only bottled in 2023. It has developed great and offers great Burgundy cinema!

Organic wine profile

• Color: dense and bright crimson red with purple reflections.
• Nose: The scent is characterized by its origins in the gravelly rock in the limestone soil. First on the nose you notice a hint of flint, followed by a delicate yeast note, nuances of fresh citrus fruits, juicy apple, meadow flowers and meadow herbs, with hints of nuts, sesame and mushrooms, warm bread crust. Overall a very complex bouquet.   
• Mouth: Restrained, delicate and ethereal in its effect, this wine conveys a complex and profound wealth of facets into the glass. There are ripe and juicy berries, pickled cherries, cool hints of herbs and eucalyptus reminiscent of menthol, licorice, tar and some tobacco, underlined by finely spicy, woody impressions of dewy, damp autumn forest ground. The entire aroma appears dense and transparent at the same time, demanding, decisive and light-footed, floating in one - the diva-like temperament of a great Pinot Noir.
• Drinking recommendation : Serve at 17° C

Organic wine production, Oeko-Wein-Gut Zang, Pinot Noir Private Reserve, red

All grapes are harvested by hand and spontaneously fermented with the grapes' own yeasts and matued in wooden barrels. With the exception of some SO2, no preservatives or fining agents are used.

Due to the elegant, long and careful aging in the barrel, the wine now appears pleasantly round and harmonious in terms of taste and tannin structure. The wine appears weightlessly balanced due to its fine acidity, and with its silky tannin structure it is ideally positioned for further aging potential in the coming years.
