Weingut Meyer Nakel

The name of the wine estate goes back to the marriage of grandparents Paula Meyer and Willibald Näkel in 1950. Like many wineries in the Ahr, Meyer-Näkel focuses mainly on Pinot Noir (or as it’s known locally, Spätburgunder).

Description

Meyer-Näkel Grauwacke Spatburgunder 2019

Grape Varietals & Region: 100 % Pinot Noir from the Ahr Valley, Germany. The steep south-facing vineyard slopes are perfectly angled towards the sun. The soil formed from weathered slate and Greywacke warm up easily and are able to store heat creating the ideal condition for grapes to grow

Taste Profile: Pale ruby red. Floral nose with lots of bright red fruit married with darker cherry notes. Firmly structured yet with an elegant and gentle disposition. A taut acid backbone runs through the mid-palate, which results in a fresh, clean back palate mouthfeel. A perfect marriage of Burgundian finesse with forward-thinking, modern winemaking

Winemaking Process: Barrique-aged in old barrels for 10 months

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
