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

Le Meyer-Näkel Spatburgunder Trocken 'Old Vines' 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: Dark ruby red. Seductive nose of dark cherries. On the palate, the wine shows notes of cranberries and cherries, with a smoky slate minerality in a fine and silky texture

Winemaking Process: Barrique-aged in old barrels

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
