Vinification of Meyer-Näkel Spätburgunder This well-balanced red wine from Germany is made from the Spätburgunder grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Ahr region. The vines here root deeply into soils composed of clay and loess. Furthermore, these grapes do not grow in flat land but are rooted in steep slopes. Management of these steep vineyards ensures that, even in cooler wine regions with shorter growing seasons, the vines receive maximum sunlight. After harvest, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. There, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place at controlled temperatures. This is followed by a maturation process.
