This pinot noir comes from a wine cooperative in Germany that claims to be 'the oldest wine cooperative in the world.' Founded in 1868, they have been providing services to growers for well over a century.
1868- 18 members
1881- 141 members
1968- 240 members
1982- merger with Altenahr coop
2014- 330-400 members
Today's approximately 400 members farm 140 hectares of vineyards in the Ahr's steep, slate slopes, and their average yearly output is about 1,000,000 liters. Of their production, 60% is pinot noir.
Since their merger with another coop, the official name of their new coop is Mayschosser/Altenahr, however, 'Mayschosser Weinkeller' is still visible on the label drawings.
This is a great example of an inexpensive pinot noir from Germany that is a great quality-to-value wine.
