Lehnert-Veit 2019 Pinot Noir, Falkenberg Vineyard

Peter Lehnert from the Lehnert-Veit winery in Piesport, in the Mosel Valley of Germany of course grows Riesling, but also focuses on Pinot Noir and presents this single vineyard expression, from the Falkenberg Vineyard.
Falkenberg is on an ancient seabed, where clay and silt was deposited for millions of years. Time, temperature, and pressure turned it to dark slate, while continental drift pushed it high into the mountains. The Falkenberg vineyard has a deep soil structure that lets vines stretch their roots. A warmer microclimate gives grapes more power and depth.
Our vineyards and winemaking produce cool climate wines, that are savory with a distinct mineral profile. The aromas of this Pinot Noir include black cherry, black tea, and herbs that transition to the palate. A light tannic structure delivers a lovely mouthfeel and balanced acidity drives energy and lift. A lovely wine that is excellent with lighter, more delicate meals like cheesy pastas, meats like turkey, pork, or veal. Salmon The delicate fruit profile and acidity makes this an incredibly versatile wine. Ideal cheese pairs include creamy, soft cheeses like brie and camembert.
