This is their Erstes Gewachs - 1er Cru! Yes, we checked to make sure that we priced correctly. We served this blind to a Burgundy connoisseur (other than the super premium Burgs, he drinks widely other Burgs).
He called this a Beaune! Yes, it says alot about Aldinger's Pinot Noir style. GIPS is the name of their monopole 1er Cru vineyard from the village of Untertürkheim. 30% whole bunch. Must try for those who seek value. To us, it is a no brainer price at half the price of a village quality Burgundy!
We pride ourselves as an importer who is constantly on the look out for rising stars and wow wines or life changing products that you should consider. Just to name one - remember when Pierre Péters was not known ten years ago? Aldinger is going to be another example! It has been on our radar for the last five years (the undisputed BEST producer from the region of Württemberg in Germany). Having assessed them during these few years, we can confirm that they have been consistently good and have exceeded our expectations. For those who like geography or travel, Württemberg is the region where Mercedes Benz and Porsche are based. i.e. its main city is Stuttgart.
Aldinger has been highly rated by all wine publications in Germany all these while. e.g. highest rating on Falstaff and Gault & Millau. Already recognised as a VDP member since 1994.We pride ourselves as an importer who is constantly on the look out for rising stars and wow wines or life changing products that you should consider.
