Christian Ottenbreit’s Sieben Hügel 2022 is a natural red wine that beautifully showcases the Pinot Noir grape’s potential in German Franconia. Aged for 15 months in oak barrels, this wine presents a light hue that belies its complexity.
Upon the first sip, you’re greeted with an inviting bouquet of small red fruits: red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate, intertwined with a floral freshness evoking images of a vibrant garden in bloom. On the palate, this Pinot Noir unfolds with finesse. The wine’s highly enjoyable nature — each sip unfolding layers of complexity — sets it apart. From its lively fruitiness to its subtle herbal undertones and oaky whiff, every element harmonizes seamlessly, culminating in a wine that captivates from start to finish, maintaining the raw, authentic, and unspoiled beauty that is characteristic of natural wine.
