2017 Hochkirch Maximus Pinot Noir

This is the best wine that John can produce each year, some years it is not made.
These are the oldest vines and the best barrels. This wine always has a velvety, thick and deep mouthfeel but with outstanding retention of acidity and freshness and a distinctive earthy, sappy complexity which is the terroir. Pure, long and complex this will age well, the wine's terrific stony lift on the finish gives it nice definition. Excellent.
