Vinification of the Rotwild Dornfelder from Peter Mertes

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Dornfelder. Only first-class grapes were used for this wonderfully elegant varietal wine from Peter Mertes. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled. After the wine has been completed, the Rotwild Dornfelder is gently harmonized.
