Julia and Benedikt Baltes are passionate, talented people that are showcasing their heritage in the Ahr region through great Spätburgunder. Ahr is probably the most northern wine-growing region for red wines, but due to its unique microclimate and expressive soils it has a proven track record in great Pinot Noir.
The goal is to make profound and characteristic wines which are clear, fresh and show fine fruits with an elegance, finesse and a high level of complexity. The wines from Bertram-Baltes all start with the vineyard, followed by careful vinification and lastly the ageing for 12 to 15 months in German oak.
The Handwerk Spatburgunder is the Gutswein from the Bertram-Baltes winery, it forms the basis of their range. The grapes come exclusively from younger vines from their own vineyards along the Ahr valley. The name “Handwerk” stands for the intensive manual labour on the steep slopes and therefore represents one of the main reasons for the high quality of these wines.
