Dr. Heger

Baden | Ihringen

Just a few miles from the French border, in Germany’s southernmost region of Baden, Joachim Heger farms the extraordinary grand crus of Ihringer Winklerberg and Achkarrer Schlossberg. On these steep, volcanic slopes, Joachim gives voice to unique, delicious, ageworthy expressions of pinot noir. For close to 40 vintages, his work has revolutionized the way we can interpret the potential of this ancient wine region. Joachim made a name for himself and Baden with pinot noir, but he also embraces classic Germanic varieties, foremost riesling and silvaner, by allowing each to work its magic on the unique volcanic, loess, and limestone soils.

Dr. Heger 2017 Ihringer Winklerberg Weissburgunder Erste Lage

This comes from the original site of Vorderer Winklerberg before it was enlarged (to nearly three times the size) due to the introduction of the 1971 Wine Law. This is pure volcanic soil with eroded deposits, topped with loess. It is fermented in stainless steel as well as large, neutral oak casks.
