Piri Naturel Pinot Noir 2022

Piri Naturel Pinot Noir 2022 | Nahe, Germany

Christine Pieroth has a gentle touch and a clear philosophy. Under the Piri Naturel label, she makes wines that are as honest and unadorned as it gets: nothing added, nothing taken away, just the grape and the place speaking clearly. This Pinot Noir from the Nahe is exactly that: unfiltered, pure, and quietly stunning. Scored 92 by Wine Enthusiast, and once you taste it, you'll understand why.

Appearance: Clear, luminous ruby with violet hints. Beautifully transparent for an unfiltered wine, proof that natural doesn't have to mean murky.

Winemaking & Aging: Naturally farmed in the Nahe region of Germany, fermented with wild yeasts, and bottled unfiltered to preserve every nuance of the fruit and terroir. No fining, no shortcuts, just time and care.

Country / Region / Grapes / ABV: Germany / Nahe / 100% Pinot Noir / ~12.5% ABV

Tasting Note: Pure cherry and raspberry on the nose, with a subtle layer of earthy forest floor beneath. The palate is elegant and velvety, with fine, silky tannins and a long, clean finish that keeps you coming back. This is Pinot that doesn't try to impress. It just does.

Primary Flavors: Cherry, raspberry, earth, forest floor, subtle spice

Food Pairing: Roasted duck, lamb chops, mushroom pasta, brie, or a classic charcuterie board. Also lovely slightly chilled on a warm evening.

Fun Fact: The Nahe is one of Germany's smaller and lesser-known wine regions, tucked between the Mosel and the Rhine. But ask any serious wine lover and they'll tell you: Nahe Riesling and Pinot Noir punch well above their weight. Christine Pieroth is part of a new wave putting it firmly on the map.
