2024
The 2022 August Kesseler Höllenberg Pinot Noir Großes Gewächs is a standout wine that showcases the pinnacle of German winemaking with its elegance, complexity, and deep connection to the unique terroir of the Assmannshausen Höllenberg vineyard in the Rheingau region.
Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, this wine represents the finest expression of the "Grand Cru" classification in Germany, Großes Gewächs. The wine has been aged in oak barrels, which enhances its texture and integrates delicate notes of vanilla and toasted wood without overpowering the fruit's purity.
It is approachable in its youth but will reward patience, with an aging potential of 15 to 20 years, allowing its layers to evolve and deepen over time.
