WINE DESCRIPTION

Keller Dalsheimer Bürgel Spätburgunder is a premium red wine produced by the renowned German winery, Keller. The wine is made from the Spätburgunder grape variety, also known as Pinot Noir, grown in the Dalsheimer Bürgel vineyard located in the Rheinhessen appellation. The vineyard features limestone and loess soils, which impart a unique mineral character to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels many months. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with aromas of red berries, spices, and a hint of chocolate. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture and a long, lingering finish. This wine is a perfect example of the high-quality and distinctive style of German Pinot Noir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Keller Dalsheimer Bürgel Spätburgunder is a perfect example of both grape variety and origin.It exhibits the perfumed red cherry fruit and velvety tannins of Pinot Noir, whilst also showing the very German contrast between juicy ripeness of fruit and vibrant acidity. This high quality example with very long finish can be drunk now but will improve over the next 20 years.
