Grape and vinification
Spätburgunder – Rheingau
Spätburgunder is the German name for Pinot Noir and is known for its refined structure and aromatic precision.
The grapes are carefully selected. The wine matures in large wooden barrels aged 80 to 120 years and then develops for another 15 to 18 months in the barrel. This aging provides extra complexity without overpowering the fruit. The wine is vegan and sealed with a screw cap.
Character and style
In the glass, this Spätburgunder reveals aromas of blueberry and red fruit. On the palate, you taste red wild strawberry, blackberry, and redcurrant, followed by a light spice and an earthy note. The wine is complex and structured, yet very approachable and lively. It can be served lightly chilled, which further accentuates its freshness.
