Husband and wife team Hans-Bert Espe and Silke Wolf make inspired, delicate and polished Pinot Noirs from their few hectares of Pinot Noir just north of the famous Kaiserstuhl in Baden, Germany. The vineyard is cooled by the Black Forest to the north and the soils are a mix of limestone and loess that result in wines with moderate alcohol and high acidity. No herbicides or pesticides are used in the vineyards; harvest is done completely by hand. In the cellar, a short cold soak is followed by a delicate press (normally the stems are removed, though this can differ from vintage to vintage) and fermentation in open-top vessels.
Shelter's Lovely Lilly Pinot Noir is named after their vineyard and cellar dog, Lilly, who passed in 2014. Light ruby color with aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries and cranberries. The palate is energetic with plenty of refreshment and a lively mineral core to compliment the crunchy red-fruit flavors. Enjoy with herb-crusted and grilled pork tenderloin.
