This Spätburgunder has aromas of cherries with a hint of cassis and delicious spices. On the palate, the wine is juicy, fruity, slightly smoky and has subtle use of wood. A great wine for all occasions that can also be served lightly chilled.
Spätburgunder is considered the most demanding red wine variety in Germany. The grapes for this gutswein come from a preselection of highly classified sites and grow on strong, clayey soils topped with a layer of sand. After harvest, the grapes are re-sorted and de-stemmed. After fermentation, the mash is hand-pressed and gently pressed under low pressure. The wine is then aged in older barrique.
From a traditional "mixed farm," the company developed into a full-fledged wine company after World War II under the leadership of the grandparents of the current generation.
With great care, the plantings were cared for with an emphatic focus on the type of soil in relation to the grape variety. Boris Kranz has been working organically for years, banning any form of chemical agents in the vineyard or cellar. Pinot blanc, riesling, chardonnay and pinot noir are the only grapes used.
Harvesting is done by hand and a strict selection of grapes follows in the vineyard and cellar. The grapes are only lightly crushed and substantially pressed without soaking. The juice is allowed to settle for a while after which the wine ferments with natural yeasts. The effect is a series of wines with great finesse, purity and gossamer acid, which is also beautifully incorporated into the wine.
