Weingut Ellermann-Spiegel is headed by Frank Spiegel. He transformed his stepfather's business from a bulk supplier to a producer of quality wines. His wines are gaining increasing recognition. The farm is located in the southernmost tip of the Palatinate, where the region benefits from a unique microclimate where the grapes ripen optimally.
The name Palatinate comes from the Latin: Palatium, meaning palace. It is also called "the Tuscany of Germany" because of its climate and vegetation. (Rhineland) Palatinate is the second-largest agricultural area in Germany, bordering Rheinhessen to the north and Alsace to the south. Influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, it has a mild, maritime climate with relatively little rain and predominantly westerly Atlantic winds. Summers are predominantly warm and sunny. In the west of the wine-growing region, the Haardt Mountains protect the grapes from cold easterly winds in winter and retain heat in summer. This ensures optimal grape ripening.
Open this bottle and the impressions are unforgettable! Rich, smooth, and full of finesse. Wow! A tropical aroma greets your nostrils. Because a small portion of this wine is gently aged in wooden barrels, it gains body and fullness. Every sip is a feast. So many aromas tantalize your senses: gooseberries, pear, citrus, mango, marzipan, vanilla, coconut, flint, and blossoms. So complex and so deep. Minerals and fruit. Enchanting on the nose, astonishing on the palate. This Grauburgunder from Ellermann Spiegel is one you'll never forget!
