Pinot Noir, Höpler

Pinot Noir, Höpler - 2019

Item # 43171 750mL

Aged for just over a year in used oak barrels (2nd and 3rd pass). No surprise that there is limestone found in the vineyards along with clay. These are ideal matches for Pinot Noir. The Höpler winery is a family-owned estate located southeast of Vienna in the region of Burgenland.
