The Hundsrück is not (yet) as well known as the Centgrafenberg. This is hardly surprising, as the Hundsrück vineyard was integrated into the Centgrafenberg without a trace after the wine law reform and land consolidation of the 1970s. The vineyard has only been listed as a single vineyard again since 2011. It is purely south-facing with a slope of up to 40% and a 0.5 to 3 meter thick layer of ferrous weathering on bare rock form the soil of one of the best Pinot Noir sites in Germany. The 2019 shows predominantly black berry fruit and some plum. It also has an impressive bouquet of spices and herbs, juniper, powerful tannins and the intense and deep minerality that makes the Hundsrück so unique. STEPHAN REINHARDT from WINE ADVOCATE gave it 98 points, JAMES SUCKLING was just one point lower with a score of 97.
