Bertram-Baltes
Ahr | Dernau
For more than a century, Julia Bertram’s family has grown and made wine in the tiny, marginal Ahr Valley. When Julia took over the estate in 2017, she directed her focus first toward the cherished old family sites, where she organically farms a total of 6.8 hectares of precipitous slopes all planted to Spätburgunder (pinot noir, in German). “What makes our wines unique,” Julia explains, “is the combination of slate and Spätburgunder in such a northerly region.” Across the board, Julia’s wines impress with their slender elegance, their arresting coolness and clarity, and above all a precisely mapped sense of place.

The south facing steep slopes vis-à-vis to the old city of Ahrweiler with it`s historic city wall are named Ahrweiler Forstberg and Rosenthal planted with around 25 year old vines.
