Vinification of the Spätburgunder from Dittelsheim VDP.Ortswein Weingut Stefan Winter

The grapes for the Spätburgunder Dittelsheim VDP.Ortswein Weingut Stefan Winter come from selected sites in Dittelsheim, characterized by lime and clay soils. These soils store the day’s warmth and release it slowly at night, ensuring even ripening. Hand harvesting guarantees the highest quality and allows careful selection of the grapes directly in the vineyard. The cool nights and warm days of this cool-climate growing region promote the development of intense aromas and the fine acid structure that makes this Spätburgunder so elegant.

In the cellar, the grapes are completely destemmed and spontaneously fermented with natural yeasts. Fermentation takes place in open wooden vats to ensure gentle extraction of the tannins. The wine then matures for 20 months in large barrels of French oak. This maturation gives it depth, structure and a fine hint of spice without overpowering the fruit. After this long maturation period, the wine shows an impressive balance between fruit, wood and minerality.

The Spätburgunder Dittelsheim VDP.Ortswein Weingut Stefan Winter is an expression of Stefan Winter’s purist wine philosophy: clear fruit, precise structure, minimal intervention. Every step in the vineyard and cellar serves to make the terroir tangible. The result is a red wine with soul, depth and an unmistakable signature – elegant, delicate and authentic.
