One of the success stories from the Mosel region is the Bernhard Eifel winery. This winery has been producing exquisite wines for centuries, including this balanced Weissburgunder Trittenheimer. This white wine combines fruity notes balanced by a pleasant acidity.
Manual harvest for Bernhard Eifel Weissburgunder Trittenheimer
Say Bernhard Eifel, and you're talking about a winery with centuries of tradition. The very beginnings of this successful winery date back to 1635. The winery owns some of the finest vineyards in the Mosel wine region in western Germany. Thanks to its location, this region boasts an excellent microclimate, where the Riesling grape, in particular, thrives. In 1976, it was time to hand over the reins to Marietta and Bernhard Eifel. They currently run the winery, but are gradually making way for their daughter Alexandra, who is now almost entirely involved in the winery. They are continuing what their ancestors began all those years ago. Over the years, old techniques have given way to innovation, without ever losing sight of tradition. The winery has made great strides and is producing some of the finest and most beautiful Riesling wines.
The Pinot Blanc grapes are carefully harvested by hand. They are then transported to the winery where they undergo a rigorous selection process on the sorting tables. The grapes are first macerated with the skins for several hours. After pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then allowed to mature for a further period before being filtered and bottled.
Enjoy the balanced Weissburgunder Trittenheimer
This Weissburgunder is exactly what you'd expect from a Pinot Blanc. It boasts excellent minerality and is perfectly balanced with lovely acidity. The fruity notes, both on the nose and palate, are beautifully balanced with a light mouthfeel. An accessible wine that pairs beautifully with asparagus and poultry. But it can also be enjoyed on its own, of course.
