2024 Spätburgunders | Jean Stodden
Ahr is not that much warmer than the Mosel, but its steep slopes of slate and greywacke heat up in the sun and radiate warmth back to the vines and fruit. It is the red wine paradise of Germany, producing Pinot Noir of supple power and concentration. The Stodden family has been growing grapes in the region since 1578 and have holdings in some of the Ahr’s most important grand cru sites including Recher Herrenberg, Ahrweiler Rosenthal and Dernauer Hardtberg.
The 2024 vintage marks a return to a more classical, finely poised expression. In conversation, the winemaker welcomes this stylistic shift, noting its alignment with their long-held preference for balance over excess. The resulting wines are defined by clarity, tension, and aromatic precision, delivering detail and energy while remaining grounded in site character - a compelling case for any serious collection of Pinot Noir.
