Have been meaning to try these wines for a while, and finally got around to a bottle of 2017 Markus Ruch Pinot Noir Gächlingen Schlemmweg. Smooth and suave. Lots of deep woodsy berry fruit going to the bottom of this wine. But also very elegant and finely-knit and a respectable 12.5% alcohol.
Definitely enjoyable, although probably pushing the limits of value at 71euros DE retail. (I shudder to think of US prices, if it gets there). Still, intriguing enough for me to explore these wines further. And, even if it doesn’t fire on all of my pleasure cylinders, it’s always tough to enter a new wine genre.
