Villa Wolf, Pinot Noir, Pfalz, Germany, 2012

Founded over 250 years ago, Villa Wolf went into decline towards the end of the last century before being revitalised by Ernst Loosen. Its Pinot Noir is aromatic, fresh and dainty, with delicate, pure cherry fruit shining through both on the nose and the palate, which is polished off by a charmingly breezy finish.
