Welp, funnily enough, Johannes doesn't even know how to describe this wine. It's a bit of a mongrel of the 2021 vintage, a blend of parcels that didn't have a home. Now, with that blurb, you'd expect the wine to be a bit of a simple slurper. Nope - this is as powerful as it gets. Such an incredible brambly, earthy nose, great spice and florality. Dark cherry and black currant leap out the glass. It's refreshing with it's acidity, with wild strawberry and cranberry charging down the palate, with real lean and vibrant tannin. Whilst it's a shade lighter than we generally expect from Kopp, it's one of the most outwardly drinkable pinot's he makes, but it's certainly no slouch. Ready to dive into right now!
