THE STORY

About this wine

Bone-dry Mosel Pinot Noir from the Dhroner Hofberg, 2022 — dark ruby-red, smoke and flowers on the nose, a silky, concentrated palate of cherry depth with vibrant acidity and very fine tannins, finishing long and slate-mineral.

Daniel Twardowski’s Pinot Noix project is based at Neumagen-Dhron in the Mosel and is devoted to Burgundian-minded Pinot Noir grown on slate. Ardoise has been produced since the 2011 vintage; the name means “slate” in French. The 2022 release is a German Qualitätswein from the Mosel.

Worth knowing

The X is deliberate: noix is French for nut, a nod to the nut shells found in the vineyard. And the Ardoise fruit is Pinot Noir grafted onto old Riesling rootstock, carrying Burgundian plant material that includes Ponsot and DRC selections.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Daniel Twardowski Pinot Noix 'Ardoise' 2022

Tasting

Color: Dark ruby-red in the glass.
Nose: Gentle smoke and flint lead, tart cherry and dark red fruit underneath, wild berries, lavender and spice coming up behind.
Palate: Silky and concentrated at once. Cherry-fruited depth rides vibrant acidity, the tannins stay very fine, and the finish runs long and stony-mineral.
