The distinctive terroir delivers a Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) with a unique and characterful profile. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VDP.Erste Lage Dernauer Hardtberg is characterised by steep, south to south-east facing slopes that have a gradient of up to 60% creating optimal exposure to the sun. Rising to 250 metres above sea level, the name \"Hardt\" refers to a hilltop or ridge. The site, in the Dernau valley basin, has heat retaining slate-rich soil that creates an almost Mediterranean microclimate. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis means that the narrow valley heats up quickly, providing an ideal habitat for the vines to flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMeyer-Näkel deliberately keep the yields here low.

In the cellar, traditional methods preserve the quality achieved in the vineyard. The grapes are fermented on the mash with natural yeasts for a period of approximately 18 days. Maturation takes place on the fine lees in 2-4 year barriques (oak barrles) for approximately 16 months. This gives the wine an elegant tannin structure from the wood, without masking the typical mineral, finesse-rich character of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol: 13,0% vol.\u003cbr\u003eRes. sugar: 0,1 g\/l\u003cbr\u003eAcidity: 5,2 g\/l\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The WineBarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57228116361589,"sku":"MEYER101","price":53.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3842\/7964\/files\/Meyer-Na_kel_2023_Dernauer_Hardtberg_Spa_tburgunder_Premier_Cru_Dry_Red_Wine.jpg?v=1779907783","url":"https:\/\/thewinebarn.co.uk\/products\/meyer-nakel-2023-dernauer-hardtberg-spatburgunder-premier-cru-dry","provider":"The WineBarn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
