WINE MAKING PROCESS
Weingut Kaufmann practices biodynamic viticulture across its vineyards in Hattenheim and Hallgarten, holding Demeter certification. This commitment to natural farming extends to the cellar, where the wines are crafted with precision. The Spätburgunder wines are typically aged in barrique (small oak barrels). For instance, the 2015 vintage of their Spätburgunder was raised in small barrels of mixed age for 16 months, a practice that contributes to the wine's structure and complexity. The 2022 Hallgarten Pinot Noir also underwent aging in barrique, showcasing the winery's consistent approach to producing elegant, finely spiced red wines.
