Full straw yellow. One year of fine lees ageing characterise the nose and ensure a distinct sur lie character. Opulent bouquet with yellow fruit aromas, hints of citrus and a touch of liquorice. Enormous density and, despite only 11.5 % alcohol, impressive multidimensional fullness on the palate, which can even stand up to slightly stronger dishes. Excellent length.

2021 “The Ländwii” Perlwein

Yeasty lemon yellow. Aroma dominated by yeast, with lemon and apple, and a hint of orange in the background. Also vegetal notes. Very fine perlage. Vegetable spice on the palate. Very good length. Walnut and pistachio on the finish. Until 2008, Muskat Gutedel (Chasselas musqué) was considered extinct in the Markgräflerland region. It is now being cultivated again by several wineries. The well-known ampelographer Andreas Jung doubts the official claim that it is merely a mutation of Gutedel. He considers Muskat Gutedel to be a separate grape variety that once came to Europe from Syria or Iran together with Gutedel (Chasselas).

From loess-rich, mica-rich molasse limestone sand. Opaque dark red. Dense and complex aromas. Hints of almond and sour cherry. Overall very restrained primary fruit. Characterful and structured Pinot with spice and already well-polymerised tannins, which provide velvety smoothness and chocolatey accents. Elegant, supporting acidity. Excellent length and depth. Needs air.

In stark contrast to the quite accessible 2021 Pinot Noir Molassefels, the 2020 Chätsch initially appears completely buttoned up and unapproachable. Indeed, even the finish seems short and the tannins rough. This is not a wine for a jury tasting by mainstream wine journalists who believe they can judge wines as if they were on an assembly line. We therefore do not understand why Dirk Brenneisen's wines are not already on everyone's lips – if not in the glasses, then at least as a topic of conversation. Chätsch is a dialect reference to the clayey loam soil with limestone inclusions on which the vines grow that produce this impressive Pinot Noir. Decanting is not an option here, but a must. It needs to be done for two to three hours. This will probably change once the wine has matured for a few more years – it has the potential for great development – but at the moment, there is no way around a longer air shower. We observe the development over several hours. The longer we wait, the more complex the taste impressions become. A medium garnet red shows a certain cloudiness, an indication of the unfiltered bottling, which is still not accepted by narrow-minded quality wine inspectors. The nose offers fruity notes of raspberry, but also hazelnut and smoked bacon in direct contrast. Underlying herbal and partly vegetal aromas round off the bouquet. A mineral spiciness spreads across the palate. Firm in structure, with distinctly sandy tannins, the Chätsch is – and this simply has to be said at this point – not a wine for pussies. Full of character, with excellent length. The hazelnut already perceptible in the bouquet closes the circle in the finish.

Disgorged in March 2021. Delicate salmon pink. Very fine, small bubbles. Multi-layered, herbaceous aroma of raspberry, strawberry with a hint of smoked bacon. Fine mousseux, very elegant, delicate and marked by the base wine. In the long finish white chocolate and blueberry. Excellent length.

Greenish golden yellow. Fine, quickly rising bubbles. Some brioche on the nose, but primarily Chardonnay-typical aromas of citrus and vanilla. After a while also more lovage and bear's root. Animating and delicately creamy, without heaviness, also shows varietal character on the tongue, good acidity, fine ethereal component (eucalyptus), green herbal, again some vanilla, very good length.

Golden yellow. Many small bubbles. Slightly buttery varietal aroma of yellow fruits. Oxidative ageing with notes of burnt matchstick. Ripe Pinot Blanc fruit, creamy fullness, vital acidity and fine spice. Some blueberry in the finish. Excellent length.

🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
⚖The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
⛬The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
▲During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
