Weingut Ziereisen Blauer Spatburgunder Baden – 2017 (750ml)

Description

Ziereisen is located in the very southern part of Baden in a town called Efringen-Kirchen, directly on the Rhine river at the border of Alsace and Switzerland. Of course, Burgundy is the homeland of pinot noir, as well as pinots blanc and gris and chardonnay. Efringen-Kirchen’s climatic conditions, coupled with limestone soils, correspond to the conditions of Burgundy. The average temperature (52®F) is similar to that of Burgundy. Chemical fertilizers and sprays are strictly avoided in the vineyard, though this estate is not certified organic.

This wine was spontaneously fermented and matured for at least ten months in wooden barrels on the yeast before it was bottled.
