Ellwanger
2020 Hebsacker Linnenbrunnen Spätburgunder Grand Cru dry x 1
Württemberg
Bit smoky, bacon-kip nose. The fruit takes a while to build through the oak, starting a little musty and musky but it gathers and then floods through. Red-apple skin, hawthorn berries. Elegant and shaped by focused (but not sharp) acidity.""The name refers to a little house in the vineyard which has a water spring (Brunnen) under it. The little house (pictured in the main photo at the top of this article) happens to be an official registry office, so you can get married in the vineyard! Felix Ellwanger says that the vineyard always has water, even in the driest summer, and is surrounded by cherry trees (a good sign, I'm told, because cherry trees thrive where there is a lot of underground water).

Kranz
2017 Kalmit Spätburgunder Grand Cru dry x 1
Pfalz
My nose fills with a small of blood, ripe damsons, guava jelly and barberries. Mouth fills with a tang and dustiness of sumac, the fragrance of roses. The frit tastes like alpine strawberries. The wine is long, very long, and while it soars in the mouth like a murmuration of swallows, it also builds with this contradictory yet perfectly coordinated urgency, creating a Zen-like stillness at the center. Acidity dances through its dusky spaces like fireflies. A favourite."
