Pinot Noir Spätburgunder trocken - Weingut Nelles

With the Weingut Nelles Pinot Noir Spätburgunder, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It offers a wonderfully bright, light red color. If you give it some air by swirling it in the glass, you can perceive an outstanding balance in this red wine, as it does not appear watery, syrupy, or liqueur-like on the glass walls. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of blackberry, rounded off by further fruity nuances contributed by barrel aging.

This German wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with extraordinarily little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in this price range, this German wine naturally enchants, despite all its dryness, with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. Balanced and multi-layered, this dense red wine presents itself on the palate. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Ahr winegrowing region impresses with considerable length. Once again, hints of blackberry become apparent. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the sandstone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Pinot Noir Spätburgunder from Weingut Nelles

This red wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). Only first-class harvested grapes were used for this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Weingut Nelles. On the Ahr, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on sandstone soils. Pinot Noir Spätburgunder is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this German wine exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. After being hand-harvested, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures follows. After fermentation ends, the elegant Pinot Noir Spätburgunder is aged for several months in French oak barrels.
