Max Geitlinger, widely recognized as the most famous protégé of legendary winemaker Hanspeter Ziereisen, crafts this cuvée as his top-tier, flagship Pinot Noir. Production is incredibly minuscule—typically limited to just 300 to 350 bottles total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e: A highly distinctive and complex bouquet combining classic wild strawberry and sour cherry with unique notes of pen ink, clove, and nutmeg.\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e: Strikingly linear, chiseled, and stony.
