The Land

Lukas Hammelmann's Caesslin Blanc de Noir 2022 comes from the rolling vineyards of the Pfalz region, where the soils are rich with diverse minerals that lend complexity to the wines. The gentle slopes and mild climate create ideal conditions for Pinot Noir, the varietal used to produce this distinctive Blanc de Noir. The region's warm days and cool nights help to develop the vibrant flavors and aromatic profiles of the grapes while maintaining a refreshing acidity.

The Wine

Made from Pinot Noir vinified as a still white wine, this Blanc de Noir is shaped with a delicate touch, resulting in a wine with remarkable lightness and zing. With an alcohol content of just 11% and an acidity level of 7.2, the wine is refreshing and vibrant. Despite going through malolactic fermentation, it retains a lively crispness, bottled unfiltered with only 10mg of sulfur. On the nose, it presents fragrant red fruit aromas, including strawberries and red apple, along with subtle soil tones and hints of citrus that lift the edges. On the palate, the wine offers a harmonious blend of red fruit flavors, balanced by a bright citrus zing that adds to its refreshing appeal. This wine is ultra-easy-drinking and rather unusual!

The Pfalz, a region in western Germany, is known for its diverse range of wines, particularly its dry Rieslings. The area's rolling hills and varied soil types, including sandstone, loess, and limestone, create a terroir that is often more generous than the steep slate slopes of the Mosel. While Riesling is a focus, the Pfalz also produces excellent Pinot Noir, and a range of other varieties. The wines from this area are often known for their rich texture, vibrant acidity, and a core of pure fruit, giving them a clear sense of the place.

Pfalz


Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.
