Gantenbein's 2023 Pinot Noir is deep, pure, fresh and terroir-driven on the nose that intertwines blackberry and raspberry aromas intertwined with graphite, black pepper and fresh mocha cream notes. Purity, energy and terroir freshness paired with elegance and complexity—that's the formula of the (unfortunately rare) 2023 Gantenbein. Generous or even luscious and very intense but at the same time silky, refined and most of all weightless on the palate, this is a fabulous, rich and elegant, finely juicy, enormously long and still weightless, playful and saline-finishing Pinot that probably represents the hardest selection ever made at this stellar domaine in Fläsch. The tannins of the 2023 are incredibly fine and guarantee superbly balanced juiciness of this pristine Pinot that is probably one of the finest I have ever tasted from Martha and Daniel Gantenbein, at least that young. Unfortunately, the quantity is just a fourth of the average. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Illmitz, Austria, in June 2025.
