A Pinot Noir from Loosen



Villa Wolf is a Pfalz winery that was acquired by Ernst Loosen in 1996. Apart from Riesling, a number of other grapes were grown in the vineyards including Pinots Gris Blanc and Noir as well as Gewurztraminer. This above wine is from their varietal series, which uses both estate grown as well as grapes from contracted growers. This was tasted in the wine department in Osaka the other day.

The wine was somewhat between a very deep pink and a pale ruby. The nose showed the typical varietal strawberry aromas. There was a hint of sweetness on entry, followed by a touch of fruity accompanied by acidity on the palate, which led onto a nice acid backbone.
