Louis Guntrum Pinot Noir (Spatburgunder Troken)

Wine information: The Louis Guntrum cellars lay on the banks of the Rhine between Oppenheimer and Nierstein. The family roots go back until 1648, to the small village of Wörrstadt in Rheinhessen. Ever since, the Louis Guntrum family has been growing grapes and making wine. The 8th generation, Louis Jean George Guntrum, built today's Estate building in 1923 - it offers a beautiful and spacious environment to produce some of the finest wines from Germany, but also impresses with its stunning location directly adjacent to the Rhein river. The 11th generation, Louis Konstantin Guntrum, the sole owner, is managing the estate today. Modern cellar technology, combined with the best of traditional wine-making and philosophy have formed a harmonious relationship, and are responsible for the production of some of Germany‘s finest wines. The Spätburgunder / Pinot Noir grapes are grown on loam and clay soils. The grapes are destemmed prior to fermentation, which takes place on skins. This traditional approach is chosen to ensure both the development of good intensity in color, extraction of tannins and strong varietal character. To balance acidity levels, the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation. The grapes of red grape varieties (Spätburgunder / Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon) are destemmed prior to fermentation, which takes place on skins. This traditional approach is chosen to ensure both the development of good intensity in color, extraction of tannins and strong varietal character. To balance acidity levels, we induce the malolactic fermentation. Guntrum Pinot Noir has a ruby red colour, there are aromas and flavours of cherry and raspberry on the nose and palate. There is also a touch of oak from ageing in oak barriques. This medium-bodied wine is well-balanced with soft acidity and a ripe finish. Try with various meats or cheeses.
