Pinot Noir "Salzhof" 2023 - Domaine Stoeffler

The Wild and Precise Expression of the Terroir of Barr The lieu-dit Salzhof is renowned for its soils that give Pinot Noir a structure that is both dense and elegant. With this cuvée, Vincent Stoeffler pushes the boundaries of organic excellence by offering a Nature wine, born from a desire to let the grape express itself without any oenological inputs.

Terroir and "Zero Input" Vinification

• Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir.

• Terroir: Parcels located on the Salzhof hillside, benefiting from optimal exposure and a soil rich in minerals.

• Natural Vinification: Careful hand harvesting, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and especially without any addition of sulfites (no sulfur).

• Aging: Precise work in the cellar to ensure the stability of the wine while preserving its natural energy.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep cherry red with purple reflections, unfiltered to preserve all its substance.

• Nose: An airy and intense bouquet of wild blackberry, peony, and a hint of white pepper. A touch of noble reduction may be present at opening, a sign of its natural character.

• Palate: The texture is incredibly silky. It is a "vibrant" wine, with great freshness and a crunchy fruit that explodes on the palate. The finish is saline and persistent.

Food & Wine Pairings This wine calls for sincere cuisine: a confit lamb shoulder, sesame beef tataki, or root vegetables roasted with thyme. It pairs wonderfully with characterful cheeses or can simply be enjoyed on its own during a moment of sharing.
