Sourced from the historic Lorch Kapellenberg vineyard, it combines mineral precision, depth, and elegance with the regional character of a true Lagenwein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Spätburgunder shows a refined, polished profile with ripe cherry and plum at the forefront. The nose is lifted by fine mineral spice, while the palate delivers a powerful yet graceful structure, with fine-grained tannins and a beautifully balanced acidity.\n\nIts schist, quartzite, and loess-clay origins bring both warmth and tension, resulting in a wine with impressive length and inner energy. The 2018 vintage adds ripe fruit concentration, and the wine should age gracefully over the coming years, gaining complexity and nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Lorch Kapellenberg, a historic Rheingau site linked to a 14th-century chapel and known for its excellent Pinot Noir potential. The vineyard’s mix of slate, quartzite, and loess-clay soils gives the wine its depth, mineral drive, and subtle warmth. The fruit was selectively hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented, aged for around two years in French barrique, and bottled with minimal filtration to preserve purity and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine is an excellent match for wild game, lamb, veal cheeks, or mushroom-based dishes, especially those with earthy elements such as truffle.
