Vineyards:
The "little" brother of Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück. The Bürgstadter Berg benefits from the mild, warm microclimate protected by the low mountain range Odenwald and Spessart.
Ageing method:
old barriques aging
Winemaking process:
The yield is 4-4.5 tons per hectar. Open vats fermenation is used and partly whole bunch pressing. The grapes for this Erste Lage Pinot Noir come only exclusively from Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück.
Interesting notes:
Wine growing has flourished in Bürgstadt since 16th century and this mountain is thus the first protected designation of origin for a vineyard in Germany.
