Vinification of the Selection Spätburgunder Silberberg trocken from Weingut Karl Pfaffmann The grapes for this Spätburgunder come exclusively from the Walsheimer Silberberg site in the Palatinate. Here, optimal conditions exist for growing high-quality Burgundy vines. The soils consist of clay and loess, which retain water and provide nutrients consistently to the vines. Through careful work in the vineyard and the perfect interplay of climate and soil, grapes with high concentration and aromatic depth develop. Hand harvesting ensures a precise selection of only the ripest, best berries. After harvest, a classic fermentation on the mash follows, gently extracting color, tannin, and aromas from the grape skins. The wine is then matured for 18 months in small oak barrels – a method that gives it structure, fine spice, and additional complexity. The wood is from French oak and is specifically used to create elegance rather than dominance. During aging, the wine develops its dense, velvety character and gains depth without losing freshness. After aging, it is bottled in the modern Burgundy bottle – a symbol of precision, craftsmanship, and quality. With an alcohol content of 13.5% vol and a long aging potential of up to four years, this Q.b.A. red wine presents itself as a true masterpiece from Pfaffmann.
