Kreuzberg – Devonschiefer QBA – Spätburgunder – 2020

A declassified selection from the winery’s steep slope, slate dominated Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru) parcels. These south facing vineyards, most nestled in the West end of the valley, have mature root systems of 15-25m. The slate maintains heat, a blessing in these cold environs, and is well draining, resulting in limited yields of elegant, concentrated fruit.

THE AHR VALLEY, one of Germany’s northernmost (and smallest) appellations, is also one of its best kept secrets. An astounding 80% of the vineyards here have achieved Grosses Gewächs (grand cru) certification. It is here that Kreuzberg has, since 1953, produced world class Pinot Noir on its 9 hectares of holdings, 7 ha of which lie on the Ahr’s steep Devonian slate slopes.

Credentials

Pending sustainable certification, Kreuzberg practices organic soil cultivation through natural fertilization and cover crops. Intensive handwork, leafing and fruit dropping leads to limited yields as low as 35 hl/ha.
