What it pairs with

  • Roast duck breast
    Medium tannin and bright acidity cut through the fat without overwhelming the bird.
  • Mushroom risotto
    Earthy mushroom notes echo the forest-floor register typical of cool-climate Pinot Noir.
  • Aged Gruyere
    A nutty, firm cheese holds its own against the wine's structure without a heavy tannin clash.

History

Malterdingen's weathered muschelkalk soils are the base of the Huber family's Spaetburgunder range; this Ortswein bottling is the village-level expression that precedes the Grosse Lage single-vineyard wines.
