Dark fruited, generous, gossamer, Grand Cru worthy Pinot Noir from the Moselle.
Direct from the mouth of Twardowski's U.S. importer:
As we've gone deeper and deeper into German Pinot Noir, the Mosel has in fact become an almost shocking "ground zero" - it could just be that some of Germany's most exciting Pinot Noirs are coming from this hallowed land of Riesling.
In a way this is very surprising; in a way this makes complete sense.
The Mosel represents Pinot Noir at its most gossamer and soaring, at its most agile - just as it does with Riesling. The best Mosel Pinots have an undeniable, Mosel-like architecture, meaning low alcohol, a certain briskness, a levity, a streamlined yet whip-smart acidity, a fine-toothed grip.
Yet Twardowski is simply on a different level.
He has taken this Pinot Noir project more seriously than nearly anyone (at least in the Mosel), and you can taste it.
