Oberberg double bass

Leopold Schätzle's Oberbergener Baßgeige Spätburgunder from Baden is a terroir-driven masterpiece with a luminous ruby-red color and a hint of garnet. The bouquet is nuanced with ripe cherries, raspberries, and dark berries, underpinned by earthy notes, spices, and mineral sharpness from the volcanic soil. On the palate, it has a medium to full body with silky tannins and balanced acidity, revealing red fruit, herbs, and a hint of oak. The smooth texture with salinity leads to a long finish with freshness and grip. It balances fruit and elegance, is wonderful to drink now, and gains complexity in 4-6 years – a highlight for Pinot fans.
