Vinification of the RED.Vineyard dry 1.5l Magnum from Weingut Karl Pfaffmann The grapes for this red wine grow in the sun-drenched vineyards around Walsheim in the Palatinate. Limestone soils, cool nights, and a mild climate create ideal conditions here for red wines with depth and fruitfulness. The varieties Dunkelfelder, Merlot, and Spätburgunder are carefully hand-picked to process only the ripest grapes. This hand harvest guarantees the highest quality and allows the character of each variety to be optimally incorporated into the cuvée. After the harvest, a gentle processing of the grapes occurs to preserve the natural aromas. The must fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks — thus, fruitiness and freshness are retained. A portion of the wine then matures in large wooden barrels to develop structure and depth. This combination of stainless steel and wood brings together the best of both worlds: clarity, fruit, and precision meet soft spice and fine roasted aromas. Through careful vinification, an elegant textured red wine with balanced tannins and lasting length is created. After aging, the wine is bottled in the modern Bordeaux bottle. The Stelvin screw cap preserves freshness and guarantees consistent quality.
