Sachsen

 

Zimmerling  (Dresden)

When Stuart Pigott, the English journalist who lives in Berlin and has made his name in the German Press asked us “what about a Sachsen wine?”, we were sceptical… Sachsen is very cold – and best known for it’s searingly acidic wines. Stuart’s recommendation was bang-on…Klaus Zimmerling’s wines are distinctive in every way – the striking packaging is what first hits you. He only bottles in 500 ml format. Each year there is a new label – a reproduction of one of his wife’s fascinating sculptures. Details of what is to be found inside the bottle only appear on the back labels. The contents are fascinating. Intense Weisserburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Riesling and a fabulous dry Gewürztraminer all show a completely different interpretation of the grapes. Powerful, taut wines which express themselves in big glasses with lots of air… Surely the newest Eastern frontline of fine wine!
