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.
Bertram-Baltes 2021 Spätburgunder "Handwerk""
The name Handwerk is the tag to our "Gutswein” classified wines and thus the base of our wines. They are a good first step into the characterized by origin quality hierarchy and are derived from younger vines along the Ahr Valley. Thanks to the very intense handmanship, the steep slopes and the mineral soil, we are able to produce very elegant Pinot Noirs, which even at young age inspire with their fruit and a fine minerality.
