Ellermann-Spiegel Weissburgunder Trocken Goldkapsel is a full-bodied, dry white wine from the Pfalz region and belongs to the winery's more ambitious Goldkapsel line. This series focuses on riper grapes, lower yields, and greater aromatic concentration than Ellermann-Spiegel's entry-level wines. The combination of Weissburgunder, old vines, and aging in small oak barrels gives this wine a creamy, concentrated style with ripe fruit, fine spice, and subtle vanilla notes.
This Weissburgunder comes from the Pfalz, one of Germany's warmer wine regions.
Location / Origin: Ellermann-Spiegel is located in Kleinfischlingen, in the southern Pfalz, between Neustadt an der Weinstraße and Landau.
Region: The Pfalz is known for its mild climate and ripe white wines featuring plenty of fruit, a soft roundness, and fresh acidity.
Selection: At Ellermann-Spiegel, Goldkapsel represents the top selection of the year, sourced from the best vineyard plots with low yields to ensure greater concentration.
Vineyard & Harvest: The grapes are sourced from old vines. This gives the wine more depth, ripeness, and aromatic intensity compared to a lighter, young Weissburgunder style.
The maturation process gives this Weissburgunder its full, creamy, and slightly spicy character.
Aging / Oak maturation: The wine is aged in small oak, using 225-liter barriques. This maturation adds extra structure, subtle vanilla, spice, and a softer texture.
Alcohol percentage: With 13% to 13.5% alcohol, this Weissburgunder has sufficient power to beautifully support the influence of the oak and the concentrated fruit style.
This white Pfalz wine is made entirely from Weissburgunder, known internationally as Pinot Blanc.
Weissburgunder – Pfalz: Weissburgunder provides this wine with its soft fruit, round structure, and elegant freshness. In this Goldkapsel style, the grape gains more concentration, creaminess, and length through the selection of old vines and barrique aging.
