Weingut Stigler Eichberg Oberrotweil Spätburgunder GG VDP. 2017

This mature Spätburgunder has medium body, moderate and by now soft tannins, and a fresh acidity that makes it flexible at the table. The earthy character of pepper, leather, and roasted coffee plays beautifully against dishes with the same deep, earthy tones, while the intense black cherry aromas match plates with a light fruit sweetness. The round, soft texture and fresh acidity suit fatty proteins like duck and pork, where the tannins are softened against the richness and the finish is prolonged. If you want to follow its own provenance, then aim for mushrooms and truffle, where the wine's umami and earthiness truly unfold.
