Product Notes

Villa Wolf Pinot Noir is an exquisite red wine that embodies the rich and robust flavors of Germany's Pfalz region. It is a medium-bodied wine made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, which are hand-picked and carefully selected to ensure only the highest quality vintages. This wine boasts a wonderful bittersweet aroma and a deep ruby color that is pleasing to the eye. On the palate, it reveals complex flavors of cherries, dark berries, and earthy undertones, balanced with soft tannins and a smooth finish. Whether you are a sommelier or an amateur wine enthusiast, Villa Wolf Pinot Noir is the perfect addition to any collection, and a surefire crowd-pleaser.

Tasting Notes

Pinot Noir has a long tradition in the Pfalz region, where it is known as Spätburgunder. The Villa Wolf Pinot Noir is warm and medium-bodied, with a firm acid structure. Its bright black-cherry fruit is juicy, ripe, and forward, with a spicy midpalate and lingering finish. A minimum of twelve months of aging in used French oak barriques gives the wine a smoky depth and a nice touch of earthy tannins. It’s an excellent, approachable red wine for everyday dining

About the Winery

Villa Wolf

The J.L. Wolf winery, which has a long history dating back to 1756 and is located in the Pfalz region of Germany, was acquired by Ernst Loosen in 1996. According to the designs of the Karlsruhe architect Friedrich Eisenlohr, Villa Wolf is a rural home in the Italian style that was finished in 1843. The acquisition of J.L. Wolf (now known as Villa Wolf) brought back memories for Ernst Loosen. The chance to revitalize a winery with a good supply of vines in ideal settings emerged, much like with the Dr. Loosen Winery. Both wineries are in unique regions: Dr. Loosen is in Bernkastel on the Middle Mosel, which has the highest density of premium vineyard sites.

The single vineyard properties are found in the northern Pfalz towns of Wachenheim and Forst, which border the Mittelhaardt. Just the ripe and nutritious grapes are used to create dry wines at every single vineyard location, which are all carefully hand-picked. The Middle Haardt's distinct regional climate, mineral-rich limestone, basalt, and sandstone soils, and the vines' extensive age are the cornerstones of the vineyards' terroir. The Royal Bavarian Government developed a vineyard category based on the land tax in 1828, which is comparable to the Grand Cru scheme in Burgundy, where the Villa Wolf vines are located, recognising their significance for the creation of exceptional wines even before then.

The property's vineyards have also applied for organic certification, which is a procedure that will require many years to finish and would make 2022 the inaugural year with official organic certification. Patrick Moellendorf, the person in charge of growing grapes and winemaking at this winery since 2011, is responsible for this. The idea behind producing exceptional wines in the family vineyards is to blend sustainable, organic farming techniques with careful fruit treatment and conventional, simple winemaking. Their fine wines have long represented fantastic value in terms of taste, consistency, and varietal accuracy.
