Entry-level Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) from Weinhaus Heger, an offshoot of Weingut Dr. Heger in Baden. Weinhaus Heger offers estate wines and village wines as well as cuvées consistently and separately from the VDP estate. Their "Sonett" series was the equivalent to the Gutswein (estate wine) category in the VDP quality pyramid. To my knowledge, the "Sonett" series was discontinued after the 2018 vintage in an attempt to streamline Heger's product catalogue.
Baden is Germany's southernmost wine growing region. It stretches about 400 kilometers from north to south along the Rhine. Baden is also Germany's warmest wine region. Much like its French neighbour Alsace, its climate is heavily influenced by its location in between the Vosges and the Black Forest, shielding it from cold winds and heavy rains. Best-known for Burgundian varieties, especially Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder), Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder) and Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder). More than 15,000 hectares of vineyards. Diverse soils, ranging from loess and volcanic stones in the Kaiserstuhl region to shell-limestone in Tauberfranken.
