Meyer Näkel 2022 Frühburgunder QbA dry

This Frühburgunder has dominate fruit flavours of raspberry, huckleberry and morello cherry. This dry red has elegant floral aromas, as well as hints of cacao bean. Its velvety taste is characterised by a fine acidity and its gentle, delicate tannins. Frühburgunder is an old grape variety belonging to the Pinot family. It is an early ripening variety of the Pinot Noir grape. The very small, thick-skinned grapes produce fruity and full-bodied wines with an intense colour. The secret of the Ahr wines is optimum microclimate created by its geological conditions. The steep south-facing vineyards provide optimal exposure to the sun. The soil there is rich in slate and greywacke, which warms up quickly and an retains the sun's heat. The narrow valley is protected by the mountains of the Eifel, providing the ideal environment for the vines to flourish. Grapes were selected by hand and yielded about 30/35 hl/ha. The wine matured in mostly used barriques (French oak barrels) for 10 months. Alcohol: 13,0% vol. Res.sugar: 0,0 g/l Acidity: 6,0 g/l
