Tasting note Franz Keller Erste Lage Oberbergener Bassgeige Spätburgunder
An elegant and characterful German Spätburgunder with a beautiful balance of fruit, spice, and structure. The nose is full of cherries, raspberries, and red fruit, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, herbs, and a hint of forest floor.
On the palate, the wine is juicy and lively, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and good concentration. The light influence of oak is well integrated, providing extra depth without overpowering the fruit. The finish is long, refined, and slightly smoky. A Pinot Noir with a lovely combination of Burgundian finesse and the distinctive character of the Kaiserstuhl.
Food pairing
Delicious with duck, veal, poultry, mushrooms, and game. Also wonderful with a mushroom risotto, roast chicken, or a fine cheese like Comté or Gruyère.
Other information
The Oberbergener Bassgeige is located near Oberbergen in the Kaiserstuhl, part of the Baden wine region. The vineyard is classified as VDP.Erste Lage and features a unique soil composition consisting mainly of loess on volcanic rock. According to Weingut Franz Keller, this specific combination creates wines with their own character and a beautiful balance between power and finesse.
Franz Keller works here with Spätburgunder, the German name for Pinot Noir. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation and is then aged for approximately 12 months in French barriques, with only a portion of new wood being used. This ensures that the fruit remains clearly present and the wine is not dominated by the wood.
The Kaiserstuhl is one of the warmest and sunniest wine regions in Germany. The combination of the warm climate and volcanic soils makes the area particularly suitable for Burgundian grape varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Franz Keller - Schwarzer Adler is a gastronomic institution in the Kaiserstuhl, in Baden, and indeed throughout all of Germany. There is a wine estate, a wine import and retail business, a hotel, and three restaurants. One of these restaurants, Schwarzer Adler, has held a Michelin star continuously since 1969, the longest of any restaurant in Germany.

Fun fact
The name Bassgeige literally means "double bass" or "bass violin." The vineyard was given this name due to the characteristic shape of the plot, which is reminiscent of the musical instrument. The official Franz Keller website explicitly cites this shape as the origin of the name.
