2022 Kopp Pinot Noir

Johannes Kopp has made a name for himself crafting top-notch Spätburgunder in Baden, and this 2022 release shows exactly why. Sourced from 10- to 25-year-old vines on limestone-rich soils, it’s a Pinot that’s got both depth and freshness in all the right places.

After three weeks on skins, it spent nearly two years in old oak, adding just enough complexity while keeping things bright and drinkable. Juicy red and black fruit, a hint of spice, and lively acidity make it seriously easy to enjoy, whether you’re drinking it now or tucking it away for later.

It’s a cracking introduction to German Pinot and stacks up well against anything local at this price. Chill it down a little if that’s your style, or just pour a tall glass and enjoy!
