Remember Baden Nouveau? The renowned duo behind Wasenhaus have upped the anty this vintage for their "fun" Pinot Noir bottling. Still the easy carbonic style we love AND NOW a bit more serious - used barrels for élevage, (whatever sizes were lying around) for added depth and structure. Seriously delicious stuff.
Alexander Götze and Christoph Wolber of Wasenhaus met while working in Burgundy.
