Ellermann Spiegel Spatburgunder Trocken

Pinot Noir, also known as Spatburgunder, originated in Burgundy. Through various detours, this German variety has established itself in the vineyards of the beautiful Palatinate wine region in southwest Germany. The vineyards of Ellermann Spiegel are no exception. The grapes thrive thanks to the ideal terroir and climate.

The ideal weather conditions for Spatburgunder

Ellermann Spiegel Winery is located in the southernmost tip of the Palatinate. Here, the grapes benefit from a unique microclimate. 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 allows the grapes to ripen optimally. In 2007, Frank Spiegel took over the approximately 48 hectares of vineyard from his stepfather, Harald Ellermann. Until then, he had been selling the wine in barrels to cooperatives. In a short time, Frank transformed the company from a bulk supplier to a quality house with its own bottlings. They have been successfully marketing Ellermann-Spiegel wines on the Dutch market for three years. The grapes are harvested by hand. They are aged for twelve months in wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks.
