Bischel Grauer Burgunder

This Grauer Burgunder is a superb white wine, produced in the beautiful Rheinhessen wine region. Bischel is now run by two young winemakers, a breath of fresh air that has further improved the wines. The Runkel family has been involved in winemaking in Rheinhessen for five generations. Their experience, excellent vineyards, and the skills of Christian and Matthias Runkel contribute to the quality of their wines. The old vines for this Bischel Grauer Burgunder are planted in the loose sandy soils of Appenheimer Daubhaus and the limestone-dominated soils of St. Laurenzikapelle. This contributes to the production of a top-quality white wine from Grauer Burgunder.

The harvest of the Grauer Burgunder

On the steep slopes, the Grauer Burgunder grapes are still harvested by hand. Bunch by bunch is inspected to determine whether it is suitable for this top-quality wine. The yield is modest, but of such exceptional quality. It's no wonder that Bischel's harvest is praised throughout Rheinhessen. The grapes are transported in small crates like a prince. Too many clusters together would cause excessive damage, which is undesirable. The bunches are gently pressed. The juice is fermented partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels. The golden-yellow juice matures for several months in Bischel's beautiful wine cellars.

The smell and taste of the Bischel Grauer Burgunder

This wine is a true German delight to drink; what refinement this wine possesses, starting from the moment the cap is opened. A beautiful bouquet of ripe apples, pears, and a hint of orange. Pouring this Bischel Grauer Burgunder truly unleashes its full potential, releasing aromas of exotic fruit and a touch of red apple. The palate is rich and full-bodied, a true Grauer Burgunder! Delicious, with plenty of white fruit and beautiful nuances of herbs, orange, and citrus. It pairs wonderfully with light meat dishes or veal, but also with spicy pasta and arugula.
