The 2021 vintage in Germany, while challenging due to a cold spring, summer rainfall, and catastrophic floods in some regions, ultimately produced surprisingly healthy yields. The cooler growing season led to lighter-bodied wines with lower alcohol, but excellent aromatic character and acidity, particularly for white varietals. For Pinot Noir, specifically, the 2021 vintage in Burgundy (which can offer some parallels for German Pinot Noir) was noted for its floral and red-cherry aromas, with a sensation of just-ripe fruit, juicy freshness, and crunch. These wines are generally light-to-medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a slim, silky texture. F.J. Regnery, located in the Mosel region, is known for its significant proportion of Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), which is unusual for the area, and is considered a benchmark for red wines in the Mosel. Their red wines are often vinified in barrique, resulting in aromatic and juicy expressions. 【Benchmark Mosel Pinot Noir】 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir would be a delightful match for roasted duck breast with cherry reduction, pan-seared salmon, or a mushroom risotto.

Its elegant profile also makes it suitable for a quiet evening of contemplation.
