Cuvée Wachtenburg red wine

A cuvée from the best sites of the Wachtenburg-Winzer, aged for nine months in medium-aged barriques — the wood provides structure without masking the fruit.

The Wachtenburg Winzer are a winegrowers' cooperative from Wachenheim an der Weinstraße, in the heart of the Palatinate. The vineyards around the historic Wachtenburg are considered some of the lowest-yielding sites in the region — intentionally so, to promote concentration in the berry. Old vines, significantly reduced yields: this is the foundation of this wine, awarded the Gold Chamber Prize Medal.

In the glass, it shows a dense ruby red. On the nose, dark cherry, blackberry, and a hint of cassis, underpinned by mild roasted aromas and clove from the barrique. On the palate, soft, well-integrated tannins, a pleasant spice, and a persistent, round finish without sharp edges.

Wachtenburg Winzer

The Wachtenburg Winzer eG cooperative from Wachenheim on the German Wine Route is one of the oldest winegrowers' cooperatives in the Palatinate region: founded in 1900 by 53 Palatinate winegrowers, it now represents the shared craft of 24 winegrowing families who cultivate 350 hectares together. It takes its name from the striking Wachtenburg castle ruins high above Wachenheim—a landmark that is literally reflected in the wines of this cooperative. The focus is on Riesling, but the range extends to over 13 white and 11 red grape varieties, catering to a wide variety of tastes. High-quality wine enjoyment at fair prices and careful stewardship of the vineyards—this is the shared philosophy that unites all these winegrowing families.
