Meyer Näkel 2023 Dernauer Pfarrwingert Spätburgunder Grand Cru dry

Wine: This Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is characterised by its aromas of wild red berries, blueberries and cherries. Its intense, clear fruit is underlined by spicy herbal notes, delicate roasted aromas and violets. On the palate it shows an animated freshness and saltiness, firm minerality and depth. This Spätburgunder shows complexity with a mouth-filling, silky tannin structure. Vineyard: In Dernau in the Ahr valley after its narrow points and offers space for a steep valley basin in which the Pfarrwingert lies. The name of the vineyard goes back to the Catholic parish church of Dernaus, which is still the landowner in this parcel. The Particularly favourable southern exposure and slope, in combination with the easily warmer ground, lead to a favourable microclimate in this location. This one occurring greywacke is a granular debris sediment, which with Slate fragments are baked into a sandstone-like structure. The Pfarrwingert brings extremely fragrant wines with subtle fruit and fine flavour pronounced minerality. Vinification: Old vines, sustainable vineyard work, consistent yield reduction and careful hand selection form the basis of this wine. The yield is around 30 hl/ha. The grapes are gently transported to the winery in small boxes, spontaneous fermentation, 20 days maceration time on the mash, ageing in barriques (30% new wood content) on the fine yeast for 18 months, followed by six months in bottle storage. The wine was bottled unfiltered. Alcohol: 13,0% vol. Res. sugar: 0,1 g/l Acidity: 5,1 g/l
