Hauck 2023 Spatburgunder

Tasting Notes

Hauck’s 2023 Spätburgunder is a vibrant and expressive Pinot Noir from Rheinhessen, showing the estate’s hallmark clarity and finesse. The wine opens with bright red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry aromas, accented by subtle rose petal, crushed herbs, and a gentle hint of spice. On the palate it is silky and medium‑bodied, offering fresh red fruit supported by fine, supple tannins and a lively acidity that keeps everything lifted. A touch of earth and soft oak influence adds depth without weighing down its elegant, juicy profile. The finish is clean, graceful, and quietly persistent, making it an especially charming young Spätburgunder.

Its freshness and delicacy make it a natural partner for a wide range of dishes. Roast duck with cherry glaze, herb‑roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto all complement its red‑fruited brightness. Lighter fare such as charcuterie, soft cheeses, or a simple tomato‑herb pasta also pair beautifully, allowing the wine’s purity to shine.
