Pinot Noir from the Palatinate region combines elegance with easy drinkability: full-bodied and velvety, with aromas of red fruits (strawberry, cherry, blackberry) plus a delicate almond note. With barrique aging, vanilla and cinnamon nuances often emerge. The Palatinate knows how to make Pinot Noir – fruity, modern, and light.
The Köppel vineyard, like its "clean cut" neighbor, is a dome-shaped hill, oriented south to east. Crucially, it's composed of Bunter sandstone, which stands in direct contrast to the Rotliegend soil of the adjacent chestnut grove. The resulting wines are often somewhat more straightforward, cooler, with more Stone wine influences and a more pronounced palate.
