Subheading: Vinification of Talrain Blauer Spätburgunder from Weingut Ziereisen The Talrain Blauer Spätburgunder from Weingut Ziereisen is made exclusively from carefully selected grapes harvested at optimal ripeness. The vines grow in the Baden wine-growing region on fertile, loamy soils with calcareous inclusions, which ensure balanced water availability. The hand harvest takes place in the evening to preserve freshness and natural fruit. After selective harvesting, the grapes are gently destemmed and lightly crushed in the cellar to ensure a gentle fermentation process. Fermentation on the skins takes place at controlled temperatures, with the must remaining on the decision for approx. 10–14 days. Fermentation is spontaneous, driven by natural yeasts, which leads to authentic fruit and aroma intensity. This is followed by maturation in small wooden barrels, which gives the wine subtle woody aromas and flavor depth. Aging in barriques promotes the development of silky tannins and provides a pleasant minerality. Bottle maturation lasts at least 10 years, which perfects the food product before bottling and further deepens its character.
