The Louis Guntrum winery was founded in 1648 in Nierstein, Rheinhessen. The current owner is Konstantin Guntrum. A true family business. Guntrum's Rieslings are praised by wine critics, but the Burgunder varieties and Dornfelder are also well-known to a wide audience. The estate has over 60 hectares of vineyards, including the small Monopole Vineyard, Schutzenhutte near Oppenheimer, and a vineyard in the renowned Niersteiner Olberg. From very dry to deliciously sweet, Louis Guntrum wines are enjoyed in over 80 countries worldwide. Everything is focused on quality. The entire process, from grape to wine, is closely monitored, ensuring that nothing can go wrong.
The grapes for this Dornfelder come from vineyards on the rolling slopes of the Rheinhessen region in Germany. The vines are planted in loamy soil. When the grapes reach peak ripeness, they are harvested entirely by hand. After harvest, a rigorous selection process follows to ensure only the finest juice reaches the bottle. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.
The result is a dark ruby-red wine with intense aromas. This Donfelder has not been aged in oak, making it wonderfully fresh and fruity. The aroma reveals hints of blackberry, cherry, and blackcurrant. A fruity, full-bodied flavor with soft tannins makes it a truly delicious red wine from Germany. This Dornfelder pairs beautifully with pork and poultry dishes, mild cheeses, and pasta, but can also be enjoyed plain.
