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.

This is a unique bottling in memory of the terrible flood catastrophe in vintage 2021. These are some of the only wines we could save from all the water: 778 bottles of Treibgut Alte Reben, which is Lagenwein quality and 2533 bottles of Treibgut Spätburgunder, a pendant to our Ortsweine.
