Production of Faible für Grauer Burgunder - Weingut Faubel

The grapes for Faible für Grauer Burgunder - Weingut Faubel come from carefully selected parcels around Maikammer in the Palatinate. The climate is warm, characterized by many sunny days, with cool nights that give the grapes freshness and aromatic fullness. The alternation between day and night temperatures ensures slow, harmonious ripening.

The soils consist mainly of limestone and clay. Limestone lends the wines tension and clarity, clay adds structure and depth. This combination harmonizes excellently with Grauburgunder and promotes both the fruit aromas and the lively acidity structure.

The harvest is selective so that only fully ripe, aromatic grapes find their way into the cellar. Gentle processing of the grapes preserves the varietal-typical fruit. Gentle pressing prevents undesirable bitter notes, the must remains clear and pure.

Maturation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This method preserves freshness and emphasizes the fruity nuances of pear, yellow fruits and green apple. Wood deliberately does not play the main role here, so that the pure character of Grauburgunder can shine without additional roasted or vanilla aromas.
