Daniel Fries “Vom Schiefer” Pinot Noir, Mosel

Silky, elegant and feminine. Incredibly pale ruby.  A seductive perfume of red cherries, ripe strawberries with a subtle herbaceouness.  The palate is velvety and incredibly fresh with more red berry fruit and rose petal.  Long finish.  Grown on the slate soils surrounding Winningen. Hand-harvested, gravity-fed with spontaneous fermentation from the vineyard's own yeasts in open oak vats.  10 months of aging in used barriques (no overt oak character). Bottled unfiltered and unadulterated.
