Vinification of the Nico Espenschied Hautnah Roter Traminer

The elegant Nico Espenschied Hautnah Roter Traminer from Germany is a single-varietal wine made from the Gewürztraminer grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Rheinhessen. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of limestone and loess. Nico Espenschied Hautnah Roter Traminer is an Old World wine through and through, as this German wine breathes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. The fact that Gewürztraminer grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has a very high influence on the development of the vintage. This manifests itself, among other things, in particularly long and even grape ripening and rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. When perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Nico Espenschied Hautnah Roter Traminer are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machines. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After the completion of fermentation, the Nico Espenschied Hautnah Roter Traminer can further harmonize for 14 months on the fine yeast.
