Max Dexheimer, with a fond smile, gestures towards the barrel sample of his Pinot Noir, reflecting on the unique character of his vineyard's wine. Despite its intense concentration and smoky notes, he assures us it's not oak-induced; rather, it's the essence of the terroir itself. Inherited traditional Stückfass barrels, passed down through generations, play a pivotal role in shaping the wine's distinct personality. Max attributes this signature smokiness to the vineyard's rich, iron-laden soil, a distinguishing feature from his other plots. Nestled beneath his family's home lies his old cellar, where these wines mature, reflecting his unwavering commitment to quality. As a Pinot enthusiast, Max understands the importance of patience, allowing the wine ample time to evolve and soften.
