Pinot Noir Asselheim, Matthias Gaul, Palatinate

Beautiful Pinot Noir from wine talent Matthias Gaul. Wine magazine Vinum and wine guide Eichelmann are enthusiastic about Gaul. From stony limestone soil with a clay, and from selected vineyards in Asselheim, located at about 200 meters altitude and facing south.

Vineyard and harvest

Gaul halves the bunches of grapes on the vine to promote better air circulation between the individual berries and thus improve quality. He also does additional manual selection and thinning during the ripening process, directly on the vine. The final selection takes place during the harvest, which is done manually in small containers in the autumn.

Vinification

Traditional open fermentation method in which the must (juice and grape skins) is regularly immersed by hand with a pestle (pigeage). After the fermentation period, the wine is matured for at least 12 months in French barriques (225 litres), which are new to a maximum of 5 years old.
