Sensory Description:

'Lovely Lilly' Pinot Noir is celebrated for its clarity and purity, beginning with a touch of reduction that opens up to reveal a vibrant spectrum of red fruits. The wine's medium body is supported by bright cherry and red berry flavors, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and a clean mineral streak. Aged in large, neutral oak barrels, it maintains soft tannins and the pure fruit character that Shelter Winery strives for, making it highly drinkable and genuinely reflective of its terroir.

Winemaker's Background:

Hans-Bert Espe and Silke Wolf, the visionary team behind Shelter Winery, focus on producing delicate and polished Pinot Noirs that stand apart from the typically heavier styles of the region. At their small-scale winery, every aspect of production is handled with careful attention to detail and a commitment to low-intervention methods, ensuring that each bottle is a true expression of both the grape and its environment.

Serving Suggestions:

This versatile Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. It shines alongside grilled salmon or a wild mushroom stew, enhancing the flavors with its fresh acidity and complex fruit profile. Serve at a temperature of 16°C to best enjoy its dynamic range of aromas and flavors.

The 2022 Shelter Winery 'Lovely Lilly' Pinot Noir is more than just a wine; it is a celebration of passion, place, and the personal touch that Hans and Silke bring to their craft. Enjoy this exquisite Pinot Noir as it gracefully expresses the unique characteristics of Baden's terroir.
