Württemberg | Stetten

“There’s a change coming. Württemberg is getting more and more interesting. We’re right in the middle of it,” says Moritz Haidle. It only takes a few minutes in his company to feel his sparking energy and ideas. But to stand in his vineyards, walk the old-cask-lined cellar built into the very hill those vineyards climb, and above all taste through his extraordinary, ever more focused, dynamic, and expressive wines is all the convincing you’ll need.

Karl Haidle 2016 Berge Lemberger Grosses Gewächs

The Mönchberger Berge is a smaller site within the Mönchberger Gehrnhalde, located on Stetten’s southern edge and is the last peak of the Mönchberg. The estate used to blend all of the Mönchberg Lemberger together but over time the terroir imprints between the two sites were so markedly distinct that they are now bottled separately. Berge is routinely a more finely structured Lemberger of the two with brighter focus and nuance. Each year, after a 3-4 week maceration, this wine is fermented with native yeasts in barrique, 50% of which is new; and then aged in a blend of 30% new and 70% neutral barrique.
