Spätburgunder Forstberg Erste Lage

The Lage Ahrweiler Forstberg is located between the villages of Ahrweiler and Bad Neuenahr, on the north side of the Ahr river. The vineyards are higher up on the slope with exposure to the south. Next to it is the equally well-known Lage Rosenthal, where Bertram-Baltes also makes wine.
The Forstberg has a soil of slate (from the Devonian) with sandstone and loam (Grauwacke). The Spätburgunder vines are now over 40 years old and from an Ahr clone locally called 'Stuber', planted by Julia Bertram's grandfather.

    Taste
    Powerful and at the same time subtle Spätburgunder at Grand Cru level (GG, Grosses Gewächs) from the Lage Ahrweiler Forstberg. This red wine is one of the showpieces of Julia Bertram-Baltes from Dernau in the Ahr. Very refined play of currant, strawberry, earthiness, fine wood, leather and herbs, freshness and minerality. Complex wine that is now drinking beautifully. Serve: 14 C. Drink: now until 2026+

    Delicious with
    Actually, you should drink this 'neat'. But red game, spiced chicken, merguez sausages or classic sauerkraut and stew go very well with this.

    Interesting
    Julia Bertam and Benedikt Baltes are a royal couple in the Ahr. In 2021, they were hit by the devastating flood and their wine cellar under construction disappeared in the swirling waves. The entire harvest and stock of 2020 also washed away. Now Julia and Benedikt are working their socks off to make wine at their high level again. Fortunately, the vineyards are still intact.
