Grauer Burgunder trocken tagein.tagaus - Weingut Faubel

In the glass, the dry Grauer Burgunder tagein.tagaus - Weingut Faubel gleams in a clear straw yellow with a delicate copper-gold shimmer reminiscent of late-summer sunlight. Even with the first swirl, fine aromas of ripe pear and juicy apple compote rise from the glass, accompanied by a hint of fresh lemon zest. With a little air, an additional, subtly nutty note reminiscent of toasted almonds emerges, along with a delicate herbal spice.

The nose reveals a multifaceted aromatic profile:

• Fruit: pear, apple purée, lemon, a hint of yellow peach
• Spice: delicate herbal nuances, fine almond notes
• Minerality: hints of wet stone and cool chalk

On the palate, the wine opens with an aromatic, fruit-driven character and clear structure. The fruit acidity is lively and precise, yet always harmoniously integrated. The body is medium-bodied and concentrated, while the texture is smooth and soft, creating a gentle flow across the tongue. Pear and apple purée appear once again, accompanied by bright citrus notes and a fine mineral coolness.

Three elements shape the wine’s structure in a balanced interplay:

1. Juicy fruit with clear Grauburgunder typicity
2. Lively yet rounded acidity with invigorating tension
3. Soft mouthfeel with a delicate, almost creamy smoothness

Tannins play only a minor role, yet remain perceptible as a delicate grip on the finish, giving the wine additional substance. The aftertaste is medium-long, fruity-mineral and pleasantly dry, without heaviness. The wine’s Palatinate origin is reflected in the combination of ripe fruit and freshness, which perfectly suits the modern, uncomplicated style of the Faubel estate.

The Grauburgunder grape variety feels particularly at home in the Palatinate. Weingut Faubel makes the most of these strengths and brings them together in the tagein.tagaus concept: a wine with a clear focus on drinking pleasure, stylistic precision and dependable quality, accompanying special moments every day.

Production of the dry Grauer Burgunder tagein.tagaus from Weingut Faubel

The grapes for the Grauer Burgunder trocken tagein.tagaus - Weingut Faubel come from selected parcels in the Palatinate, around Maikammer. The climate in this region is sunny and moderate, with warm days and cool nights. These temperature differences intensify the development of aromas in the grapes while preserving their freshness. The predominant loess soil stores water well while remaining loose and well aerated, allowing the vines to develop deep roots and fine mineral notes.

The grapes are harvested by machine at the optimum stage of ripeness, when fruit aromas and structure appear ideally balanced. Rapid processing at the estate preserves their freshness. Immediately after arrival, the team carefully sorts the grapes and processes them gently in order to preserve as many natural aromas as possible.

In the cellar, the estate relies on clear, straightforward vinification in stainless steel tanks. After gentle crushing, temperature-controlled fermentation follows, precisely bringing out the fruity character of the grape variety. The relatively cool fermentation promotes fine, clear aromas of pear and apple, while the citrus notes provide additional tension.

The wine then rests on its fine lees for several months. This lees aging gives the Grauer Burgunder trocken tagein.tagaus - Weingut Faubel its characteristic smoothness and gentle texture. At the same time, the wine gains depth and complexity without losing its fresh, approachable character. Bottling in a flute-shaped bottle with a screw cap underlines its modern approach and preserves its aromatic clarity.

The style of Weingut Faubel is expressed here in concentrated form: precise fruit, clean vinification and a clear line in the glass. The result is a Grauburgunder that brings pleasure every day while delighting with its details.

The ideal serving temperature is around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. Lightly chilled, the wine reveals its clear fruit and firm structure. With a little more warmth in the glass, the texture becomes even smoother and the nutty nuances emerge more strongly. A classic white wine glass brings out the aromas and mouthfeel to their best advantage.

When stored properly in a cool, dark place without major temperature fluctuations, the wine retains its freshness for several years. In the first years after the harvest, it is especially fruit-driven and radiant. With some maturity, additional subtle notes of ripeness and nuts develop, giving the wine even greater depth and shaping it into a remarkably versatile accompaniment, from everyday occasions to special moments.
