Autumn time π is grape harvest timeπ. And a wonderful time to head to the vineyards! What fantastic colours of nature. All the more beautiful in top weather βοΈ ! I travelled to the Kaiserstuhl - it's near Freiburg in southern Germany and is actually a small low mountain range. Here you are on the sun terrace between the Black Forest and the Rhine. It's not for nothing that the Kaiserstuhl is the warmest wine region in Germany. There were some very good winegrowers on my list. My first port of call was Franz Keller's winery. It is one of the largest and most internationally recognised German wineries. There were excellent Burgundies to taste: Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris and my personal favourite, the Pinot Blanc: well-balanced, racy and fresh with fine fruity notes. The Oberbergener Bassgeige (Pinot Gris) is one of his classics. Powerful, intense fruit, fine minerality, well-integrated acidity. And the Bassgeige Pinot Noir was also included. Wow: berry plus spicy-mineral flavour, fantastically integrated tannins with a soft finish. Already an explosion of flavours in the mouth. But it'll quickly disappear into my cellar so that it can lie dormant for a few more years (certainly 7.......). The football connoisseurs β½οΈ among you should also be familiar with the current owner, Fritz Keller: 2019-2021 he was president of the DFB (German Football Association), previously of SC Freiburg π€©.
