Our red wine selection is not (yet) as large as the white wine selection, but that will change in the coming decades. The changed climatic conditions ensure that red wine of exceptionally good quality can now also be pressed in the northern latitudes. We are adapting to this by gradually reforming our vineyards. We currently only grow red wine on just over 20% of our vineyards. Anyone who loves red wine should therefore keep an eye on us. In addition to our full-bodied gourmet wines Merlot and Pinot Noir we also have the wonderful premium wine Saint Laurent , which has been awarded by well-known wine critics!

Only selected wines mature in barrique barrels at our winery. With a height of 1.20m, a barrique barrel contains a whopping 225 liters of wine. It costs (empty!) between 800 and 3,800 euros, depending on which oak tree is used. You can choose between French, German, American or Canadian oak, and each provides a very different flavor. We use American oak, sometimes French too.

There are three reasons for storage in barrique barrels:

  1. It offers the possibility of micro-oxidation (ie a little oxygen goes through the wooden wall and thus reacts with the wine)
  2. The tannin in red wine (which causes the bitter taste) is "broken", making the taste of the wine softer and rounder
  3. Wonderful roasted aromas are created because the barrels are "toasted" (that's actually what it means!) before use. In the past, they were traditionally burned out over a fire, but today this can be done mechanically with an infrared lamp.

The casks can be used for 20 to 30 years until they no longer give off any flavor. In 2021, our Merlot was awarded the " Best Collection " by the DLG ( Deutsche Lebensmittel Gesellschaft ) along with four other barrique wines from our winery: 2019 Merlot , 2018 Saint Laurent , 2020 Pinot Blanc and 2020 Chardonnay .

What wine experts say:

"Deep dark red with violet tinges; the bouquet shows blackberries, elderberries and black cherries in combination with hints of leather and tobacco; on the palate the elegant tannins harmonize with the fine fruitiness and the spicy nuances of coffee and pepper; multi-faceted overall impression." DLG Federal Wine Awards, Frankfurt, 10/2021

"Dark ruby ​​red; the nose shows blackberries and elderberry as well as a smoky spice, on the palate the strong body supports the fine fruit character; the fine acid structure completes the long finish." DLG Federal Wine Awards, Frankfurt am Main, 9/2020

"Delicately smoky cherry scent. Finely fruity in the mouth with light mineral notes. Wonderful with braised beef or filet Wellington, with dishes with mushrooms, also with fine pies, rillettes and terrines." dr Rolf Klein, experienced wine author and former editor-in-chief of the magazine "Weinwelt".
