Dorli Muhr Samt & Seide

Dorli Muhr Samt & Seide

Dorli Muhr Samt & Seide is an elegant and refined red wine. A naughty nose with small red fruit and mountain herbs, soft touch of old oak. Elegant fused taste with velvety tannins, with fine acidity and a fruity aftertaste.

The grapes for this local wine have been selected from a total of 20 plots, all of which are located on the southern slope of the Spitzerberg, namely in the vineyards of Spitzer, Roterd, Panhölzer, Holzweinggarten and kransen. Vines that are between 15 and 35 years old provide the grapes for this wine, while the older ones are responsible for the "silky" and the younger ones for the "velvety" of the wine. What they have in common is the precise relief of the limestone soil, the fine berry aroma and the refreshing sour structure. The grapes are harvested by hand and any overripe berries are carefully removed.

In the cellar, the grapes are lightly crushed and partly macerated with the stems in open fermentation tanks. Fermentation starts after just a few days thanks to wild yeasts. The spontaneous fermentation is very slow and at room temperature the mash is not heated or cooled. This guarantees very precise and aromatic wines. After about 20 days, the wine is pressed and then aged in 1000 liter wooden barrels and 3000 liter wooden fermentation vats, using no new wood so that the fine fruit of the Blaufränkisch is not covered. During the 20-month aging process, the wine is moved only once and finally filled without filtration.
