2024 Wasenhaus, Baden, Spatburgunder Mohlin

Weingut Wasenhaus is based in the town of Staufen in Baden, where founders Christoph Wolber and Alexander Götze apply their extensive experience from Burgundian estates to their own local vineyards. This wine is made from grapes grown on the shallow, limestone-clay soils of the Ehrenstetter Ölberg, a site known for its warm, southeastern exposure. In the glass, it displays a focused profile of tart red cherry and dark mineral notes with a textured, layered structure. The 2024 vintage provided a cooler, challenging growing season that resulted in smaller yields but produced wines with bright acidity and distinct clarity. This bottle offers a balanced, energetic expression of the region that is worth cellar time to allow its complexities to further develop.
