2009 Schnaitmann Spatburgunder Young Vines*** Wurttemberg
We first took note of Rainer Schnaitmann when he took first place for two consecutive years, winning the European Pinot Cup. This is a feat not yet duplicated to this day. In the 2007 Gault Millau German Wine Guide, he was chosen "Newcomer of the Year." This too was unique, because the honor had never before been bestowed upon an estate less than ten years old. Rainer's story reads like a fairy tale. His father owned 6 acres of vineyards and was a member of the Fellbach growers association. In 1997, only with the condition he could do his "own thing" Rainer joined his father. He took his father's vineyards, left the growers association, and started making his own wines. In less than ten years the estate has grown to over 38 acres. Rainer has also constructed an impressive new cellar. We first visited Rainer about a year ago and were amazed at the consistent quality he showed us, from the lowest priced wine to the most expensive. Rainer's wines and style parallel, very closely, the wines we seek to represent in our portfolio. They are crystalline pure, refined, and reflective of their terroir. The wines offer great balance and will age for decades. It follows that Rainer never has enough wine to satisfy demand which ranges from local connoisseurs to the top brass at Mercedes and Porsche. Schnaitmann is a member of the V.D.P. Rudi Wiest Importer
