Why shop with us?
Karl May’s organic 2024 Grauburgunder comes from mature vines in the Osthofen vineyards of Goldberg and Bechtheimer Geyersberg. Fermented and matured in wood, it combines generous fruit and a rounded texture with a distinctly mineral, saline finish.
Tasting Notes
The wine has a red-gold shimmer. Aromas and flavours of rhubarb, apricot and quince are complemented by hints of vanilla, nut pastry, straw and hay. On the palate, it is full and supple, with plenty of volume and a long, mineral finish touched by saltiness. Specific ageing guidance is not provided.
Production
The Grauburgunder comes from vines up to 40 years old in the Osthofen sites of Goldberg and Bechtheimer Geyersberg. The fully ripe grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in wooden casks and left on fine lees for six months, followed by further maturation in wood. The wine is identified as organic; further details about the soils and vinification are not specified.
Food & Serving
Its ripe orchard-fruit character and rounded texture would suit roast poultry, pork, creamy mushroom dishes or aged cheeses. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. A brief airing in the glass should be sufficient; decanting is optional.
