2016 August Kesseler The Daily August Pinot Noir Rheingau

A delicate, fine, elegant Pinot Noir. Light in style but well structured this wine is easy to drink. It shows nice cherry flavors, a hint of black currant and a lot of spices. Very well balanced on the palate this wine has a remarkable length and a great finish. Situated in the Assmannshausen in the Rheingau region, the wine estate of August Kesseler consists of vineyard sites in Lorch (for Riesling and Silvaner wines), on the slopes of the hills around Rudesheim and in the area called “Assmanshäuser Höllenbergâ€. August Kesseler took over the estate from his parents in 1977 as a young man, and has qualitatively expanded the best area under vines to 18 hectares (44.48 acres). The manor house and cellar are situated directly on the slate outcrops of the “Assmanshäuser Höllenbergâ€.
