When Siegbert Bimmerle took over<br />

the family winery in 1986, there<br />

were six hectares of vines. Currently,<br />

there are 135 hectares across an area<br />

stretching 90km: they are in the northern end<br />

of the subregion of Ortenau, via the Rench<br />

valley, the Durbach valley all the way to the<br />

southern Ortenau and into the northern end<br />

of the Breisgau subregion. This extended area<br />

of sites with different soils creates a plethora of<br />

flavours. Cellar master Philipp Milke makes<br />

fresh and precise wines. His “Réserve” range<br />

scores with proper substance and complexity.<br />

A most inviting collection!<br />

90 2018 »Réserve« Grauburgunder trocken<br />

Initially restrained on the nose but after a few minutes, a ripe<br />

scent of yellow peach, tangerine and lemon peel become apparent.<br />

On the palate hazelnut, white peach and honeysuckle.<br />

Exciting wine with a medium body, fresh acidity and a<br />

good finish. 13,5 Vol.-%. cork<br />

91 2017 »Cuvée Pinot Noir Merlot Cabernet<br />

Sauvignon« trocken<br />

Medium ruby. On the nose, a clear scent of ripe cherry, blackberry<br />

and clove. On the palate, the well-integrated acidity<br />

balances these flavours as well as chocolate in the medium-bodied<br />

wine. Ripe and fine tannins accompany the wine<br />

into its long finish. 14 Vol.-%. DIAM<br />

90 2017 »Réserve« Spätburgunder trocken<br />

Ruby with slight brightening at the rim. On the nose a light herbal<br />

note, raspberry and cranberry. On the palate, cloves from the use<br />

of wood and further aromas of hibiscus and dark cherry. Ripe tannins,<br />

finely-balanced acidity and a good finish. 13,5 Vol.-%. cork<br />

90 2018 Gewürztraminer Spätlese<br />

Golden yellow in the glass with a scent of rose petal,<br />

tangerine and lychee. On the palate also flavours of<br />

grapefruit, lemon, bee honey and violets. The exotic fruit<br />

sweetness is balanced by good acidity and a long finish.<br />

Well-balanced wine, to go with food. 12 Vol.-%. screwcap<br />

90 2019 Riesling Kabinett trocken<br />

Pale lemon yellow. On the nose a medium intensity of ripe<br />

yellow apples and pineapple. On the palate, a very fine<br />

acidity that carries the above-mentioned aromas as well<br />

as lemon zest, lime and ripe grapefruit very well. A slender<br />

representative of its grape variety. 12 Vol.-%, screwcap<br />
