Vinification of the Jaspis Hermann Blauer Spätburgunder from Weingut Ziereisen

The cultivation of the grapes takes place in the renowned Baden wine region, known for its optimal climatic conditions and mineral-rich soil. The vines grow on well-drained, humus-rich loam soils that provide the grapes with a strong foundation for intensity and complexity. Hand harvesting guarantees a selective yield reduction, with only the best grapes used for vinification. This careful harvest takes place at optimal ripeness, usually in late autumn, in order to achieve the perfect balance between sugar and phenolic content.

During vinification, the grapes undergo a short maceration to promote the gentle extraction of colorants and tannins. Fermentation takes place in a controlled manner at moderate temperatures, with gentle pressing to preserve the fruit aromas. What is special about the maturation of this wine is its aging in small wooden barrels, which deeply integrates its sensual texture and complex wood aromas. The shorter maturation on the fine lees also ensures an elegant fullness. The aging usually lasts about 12 months, during which the wines are regularly monitored to ensure optimal development. The result is a wine with a dense structure, pronounced fruit, and a refined wood note, which demonstrates its quality with an aging potential of up to ten years.
