Weingut Pircher, "Sélection Stadtberg", Pinot Noir 2019
All wines purchased upon release, many purchased importer-direct, and all stored in a purpose built redundant temperature and humidity controlled cellar.
The 2019 Weingut Pircher "Sélection Stadtberg" Pinot Noir is a premium, highly expressive Swiss Pinot Noir from Eglisau in the Zürcher Weinland (Canton of Zürich). Crafted by Urs Pircher—a legendary figure in Swiss viticulture and a charter member of the prestigious Mémoire des Vins Suisses—the "Sélection Stadtberg" (formerly known as Stadtberg Barrique) represents the estate's top-tier bottling. It is sourced from their absolute best parcels and oldest vines, some of which are up to 70 years old.
• Viticulture: Sourced from low-yielding, old-vine parcels (up to 70 years old) deeply rooted in steep slopes along the High Rhine.
• Vinification & Maturation: Aged for 18 months in French oak barriques, with roughly one-third consisting of brand-new wood to build a firm structural framework without overwhelming the fruit. It is bottled unfiltered to safeguard its raw volcanic-mineral energy.
• Composition: ~13.8% Alcohol by Volume (ABV).
• Aroma: A subtle, aristocratic nose blending dried dark forest berries, ripe raspberries, and sour cherries. This is complexed by sophisticated elements of dark baking spices, medicinal herbs, mountain mint, and an elegant background of smoky, toasted oak.
• Palate: Middleweight, dry, and balanced with cool precision. It features a lovely weight of pure black cherry and mulberry fruit carried by a vibrant, fresh acidity and chalky, fine-grained structural tannins.
• Finish: Remarkably persistent and focused, resolving into a dry, lingering finish with a distinct stony mineral-salty edge.

Highly praised for its elegance. The tasting panel highlighted its refined interplay between dark, dried berry fruit and a concise, crisp herbal savoriness backed by ripe tannins.
