| Description: | Falstaff Magazine 92 Points - "Coral pink in color. Deep on the palate, fresh, earthy, smooth, full-bodied texture, elegant acid structure, no ros of the sweetish fraction, very good in density and length, red berry offshoot fruit. Almost a bright red wine in its extract.". ***. This is a superb Pinot Noir-based dry rose from the Ahr region of Germany. On the nose you find a wonderful combination of fresh berries, herbs and citrus. In the mouth the fresh berries come to the forefront followed by a trace of lemony citrus. With a hint of minerality on the lingering finish this wine is perfect as either an aperitif or served with chicken, fish and seafood. Wine making along the Ahr was founded by the Romans more than 1,000-years-ago. Historic records give evidence for cultivation from the year 770. Since the 13th century the region has been renowned for the cultivation of red varieties. This tradition has been continued, with an emphasis on growing Pinot Noir since the 18th century. As a fifth generation family estate, a passion for wine is at the core of Mayer-Nakel Winery. Todays wine estate was established by the marriage of Paula Meyer and Willibald Nkel. Although Willibald Nkel only cultivated 1.5 hectares of vines he was already a pioneer for the then rather unusual dry red wines from the Ahr valley. Todays 15 hectares estate is managed by his son Werner Nakel, Werner's wife, Claudia, and their daughters Meike and Dorte. |
