Lemberger trocken - Christian HirschThe elegant Lemberger from the pen of Christian Hirsch Wines draws all eyes with its bright ruby red. Poured into the red wine glass, this red wine from Germany unfolds its enticing aromas of juicy red currants, ripe blackberries, and full-bodied plums. The fine nuances of sour cherries and a subtle spiciness from oak casks complement the flavor profile. The opening is promising and appealingly fruity. On the palate, the Lemberger presents itself as dry and smooth, with a full body that never seems coarse. The moderate fruit acidity provides a refreshing balance, while the mineral character of the clay soils adds an additional accent. The finish impresses with a considerable aftertaste that harmoniously rounds off the flavor journey. Vinification of the Lemberger dry by Christian Hirsch This red wine clearly focuses on the Lemberger grape variety. The grapes thrive under ideal conditions in the Württemberg region, where the vines dig their roots deep into the nutrient-rich clay soils. When optimal ripeness is reached, the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, ensuring that the quality of the harvest remains high. After handpicking, the grapes quickly make their way to the winery, where a careful selection process takes place. The grapes are gently crushed before fermentation occurs in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine matures on the fine lees for several months. This process imparts exquisite density and finesse to the Lemberger. Finally, the wine is carefully bottled to preserve its aromas and quality.
