This is Twardowski's flagship wine — \"Ardoise\" is French for slate — a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from organically farmed Ponsot and DRC clones grafted onto old Riesling rootstock in the Dhroner Hofberg Grand Cru, fermented with native yeasts in open tanks, moved entirely by gravity, unfiltered, and aged 17–18 months in barrel sourced from DRC, Rousseau, and Margaux. Daniel Twardowski is the son of a sea captain who grew up in the Saar, became a Burgundy fanatic as a teenager, and was eventually asked by Pascal Marchand over lunch why he wasn't making Pinot Noir in the Mosel — a question that changed everything. Fun fact: the name \"Pinot Noix\" was born watching ravens clank walnut shells on bare slate in the Hofberg — \"noix\" being French for nut, and not coincidentally, what many people thought of Daniel early on. Pair with roast duck, wild salmon, lamb, or anything that deserves a wine with real soul and one of the most compelling addresses in German Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Palm Wine Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48854360031459,"sku":null,"price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/3147\/5171\/files\/C84CFA03-48C8-427A-A743-85AB6BA5C6CC.jpg?v=1776799364","url":"https:\/\/www.westpalmwine.com\/products\/2022-daniel-twardowski-pinot-noix-ardoise","provider":"West Palm Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
