Weingut Carl Ehrhard is an historic family estate and winery situated on Germany’s Rhein River in the town of Rüdesheim. It was founded in 1815 and Carl took over from his father in 1998. Carl strives to make wines endowed with personality that express the unique character of his vineyards. In Carl’s words, he achieves this by “following the nature” and “returning to the roots.” Specifically, this means all the grapes are grown 100% organically and biodynamically. Fermentation occurs spontaneously from indigenous yeasts, and it is slow. The finished wines are not filtered or fined, and no sulfur is added.
This is a white wine produced from Pinot Noir. After the grapes are harvested by hand they are gently pressed. The wine is then made without the skins which would otherwise add color and make it red. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. 50% of the wine is then stored in used 225L oak barrels for three months.
Elegant and dry, this uber cool Pinot Noir has seductive florals and a creamy weight with zippy melon and kiwi fruit.
