Shelter 'Lovely Lilly' Pinot Noir 2023 Gifts

Shelter 'Lovely Lilly' Pinot Noir 2023 GiftsGorgeous, soft, lightweight Pinot Noir from Baden, the region lying right over the French border with Alsace. Winemakers Hans Bert Espe and Silke Wolf of Shelter Winery have an entire range of polished and gentle wines in this area, where it's otherwise common to make wines large and alcoholic. This Pinot Noir is an antidote to cumbersome California versions of this delicate grape!
