Daniel Twardowski 3rd Pinot Noix, Mosel, Germany 2022
3rd Pinot Noix 2022 is a captivating, limited-production Pinot Noir that showcases the remarkable potential of Germany's Mosel for world-class red wines. Crafted from steep, slate-rich vineyards and produced with meticulous attention to detail, this elegant bottling reflects Daniel Twardowski's Burgundian-inspired philosophy of purity, finesse, and terroir. The 2022 vintage opens with expressive aromas of wild cherry, raspberry, cranberry, rose petals, black tea, and warm baking spices, accented by subtle notes of forest floor, graphite, and crushed slate. Silky and refined on the palate, it combines vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and exceptional mineral tension, leading to a long, graceful finish. Both ethereal and complex, 3rd Pinot Noix is a striking expression of cool-climate Pinot Noir that will reward early enjoyment or careful cellaring.
