Philip Lardot “Kontakt” Red – Mosel, Germany
Producer's Notes:
100% Pinot Noir, 50% submerged carbonic maceration in 50% direct press juice, 7 months of ageing in oak barrels. The oak adds a more complex, richer touch to the wine. Red fruit, minerality, good acidity. Unfiltered.
What we say:
An expressive, lightly structured red from one of the Mosel’s most exciting young natural winemakers, Kontakt Red showcases Philip Lardot’s talent for crafting wines with purity, energy, and a touch of wildness. Made with extended skin contact and minimal intervention, this is a vibrant, aromatic red that blurs the line between light red and deeper rosé - perfectly suited to chilling and casually enjoying.
The nose is lifted and playful, offering notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry, and redcurrant, layered with hints of herbs, spice, and cool slate minerality. On the palate, Kontakt is juicy and fresh—light-bodied with gentle tannic grip, crisp acidity, and a bright, mouthwatering finish. It’s lively, expressive, and wonderfully easy to drink.
