Huber's 2012 Sp?tburgunder Alte Reben is a selection from averaging 40 years old vines cultivated on shell limestone soils including the top vineyards of the family domaine. Very delicate, fresh and pure aromas of dark berries along with floral flavors on the nose, this low-yielding Pinot (40 hl/ha) has significantly more expression than the Malterdinger. Beware that this wine also contains downgraded parts of the several Grosses Gew?chs wines. Silky textured, dense and super balanced on the palate this full-bodied and well structured wine develops an impressive intensity in the long and refreshing mineral finish. "It is always a great pleasure to see how the density and intensity of the old German vines in lesser sites match perfectly with the fruity charm of our younger clones from Burgundy,“ says Julian Huber. The 2012 was made with 40% whole clusters.
