Ahr VDP Spatburgunder Pinot Noir 'Blauschiefer' 2019 (750 ml.) Meyer-Nakel
The Pinot Nero 'Blauschiefer' from Meyer-Näkel well represents the terroir of Ahr, Germany. This grape variety is grown in soils rich in slate and decomposed stones, which impart minerality and subtle smoky nuances to the wine. Low yields and hand-harvested grapes. Fermentation occurs spontaneously using only indigenous yeasts. It matures for 12 months in second, third, and fourth use barriques, in order to avoid excessive transfer of woody aromas. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, with a juicy and harmonious sip supported by soft and velvety tannins, while the nose features notes of red fruit, blueberries, blackberries, and brandied cherries, accompanied by spicy hints. It can be stored for several years in the cellar.

This wine, the supreme expression of Ahr Pinot Noir, is characterized by its enveloping aromas of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and a hint of moist earth, which evolve gracefully over time.

THE COMPANY
Meyer-Näkel is based in Dernau, in the Ahr valley, a beautiful wine region dedicated to Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder). Located at the same latitude as Bonn, it is one of the northernmost regions for red wines. Werner Näkel left his job as a high school teacher to take care of the family business and revolutionized the way of producing Pinot Noir in the region in the early 80s, bringing the company to the highest quality levels. His grand crus, Grosses Gewächs, are high-end wines characterized by extreme finesse, precision, and perfect wood balance. The company is now run by Dörte and Meike Näkel, daughters of Werner, who continue the path laid out by their father.
