Vinification of the Grauer Burgunder from Weingut Spohr

The carefully selected grapes for the Grauer Burgunder from Weingut Spohr come from the most renowned parcels of Rheinhessen. Weingut Spohr relies on sustainable cultivation methods, plenty of manual work, and continuous quality control in the vineyard to harvest the best possible grape material. Thanks to the lime-rich soils, the Burgundy vines develop their typical character: mineral, opulent, and pronounced in their aromatics.

For the harvest, gentle hand-picking is carried out in the cool morning hours. Only fully ripe and flawless berries make it into the cellar, where further processing begins. The maceration period and gentle pressing ensure that the valuable aromas and fine extracts are preserved. The must then ferments under temperature control in stainless steel or in traditional wooden barrels. In this way, freshness, fruit, and elegance are optimally preserved.

The targeted use of stainless steel lends the wine precision and purity. If Weingut Spohr chooses light maturation in wooden barrels, this supports the creamy texture and gives the wine additional smoothness without masking the fruit. After maturation, the wine is stored on the fine lees for several months. This gives the Grauer Burgunder from Weingut Spohr additional depth and imparts its characteristic complexity.

The vinification combines tradition and modern cellar technology. Only in this way can a wine be created that authentically reflects the Rheinhessen terroir and remains in memory as a true moment of enjoyment.
