Bertram - Baltes Spätburgunder Dernauer Goldkaul 2022

Bertram-Baltes Spätburgunder Dernauer Goldkaul 2022 is a precise and characterful Pinot Noir from one of the Ahr’s most distinguished vineyard sites. The Dernau Goldkaul is known for producing elegant, mineral-driven reds that combine the region’s cool-climate freshness with impressive depth. Only a few bottles remain available.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Spätburgunder shows a bright ruby colour. The nose is refined and expressive, with aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild berries complemented by subtle earthy, herbal and spicy nuances. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured, combining lively acidity with silky tannins and a distinctly mineral finish. The 2022 vintage offers immediate appeal but should develop additional savoury complexity over the next several years, with good ageing potential when properly stored.

Production
The Dernauer Goldkaul vineyard lies in the steep Ahr Valley, where slate-rich soils, sun-exposed slopes and a cool climate provide ideal conditions for Pinot Noir. These challenging vineyard conditions naturally favour low yields and concentrated, finely balanced fruit. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this bottling have not been provided, but the wine reflects the Bertram-Baltes approach of expressing the site with clarity, freshness and restraint.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 14–16°C, allowing the wine to show its aromatic detail without becoming overly warm. It is an excellent match for roast poultry, duck, veal, game birds, mushroom dishes and hearty vegetarian cuisine. Decanting is not essential for the 2022 vintage, although 20–30 minutes of aeration can help reveal its mineral and savoury nuances.

Producer
Bertram-Baltes is a highly regarded Ahr producer focused on site-driven Spätburgunder from the region’s steep slate vineyards. The estate is associated with Julia Bertram and Benedikt Baltes, whose work combines a strong respect for traditional Ahr viticulture with a precise, contemporary style. Their wines are valued for their elegance, transparency and ability to express the distinctive character of individual vineyard sites.
