Weihbrecht Donar Pinot Noir

Thunder in the glass

Named after Donar, the Germanic god of thunder, this Pinot Noir combines raw power with controlled elegance. Sourced from the best vineyards in Himmelreich, the grapes were fermented on the skins and underwent maturation in small barrique barrels—resulting in a wine with depth, character, and structure.

In the glass, Donar is a deep garnet red. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe wild berries, black plum and a hint of violet, complemented by fine roasted notes, cedar wood and a hint of vanilla – characterized by maturation in oak barrels.

On the palate, it is concentrated and powerful, but at the same time supple and balanced. Fine-grained tannins frame aromas of dark berries, earthy nuances and a hint of cocoa. The lively acidity provides freshness and precision, while the finish is long, spicy and persistent.

Already compelling, Donar will continue to evolve gracefully over the coming years, rewarding those who choose to cellar it.

Food Pairing Recommendation

Excellent with roast duck, venison dishes, and risotto with wild mushrooms. Also pairs well with herb-crusted lamb, aged hard cheeses, or truffle-infused dishes.

Serving Tips

Enjoy at 16–18 °C. Decant 30–45 minutes before serving to allow the full aromatic potential to unfold.
