AdamsWein Spätburgunder Ingelheim 2020 – A Masterpiece from Rheinhessen

AdamsWein Spätburgunder Ingelheim 2020 is a quality wine originating from Germany, specifically from the Rheinhessen region. Rheinhessen is renowned for its gentle hills, fertile soils, and mild climate. This region provides ideal conditions for viticulture and has established itself as one of the best wine-growing areas in Germany. The soils, often characterized by limestone, impart a special minerality and freshness to the wines. Vineyards that blend harmoniously into the landscape are a defining feature of the region.

Simone Adams, the winemaker behind AdamsWein, has decided to classify her wines according to the commonly used estate, village, and single-vineyard wine system. With the 2019 vintage, she bid farewell to the previous designations to highlight the origins of her wines even more clearly. The Spätburgunder Ingelheim 2020 comes mostly from the same parcels as the former Kaliber 12, but also from parcels that previously flowed into Kaliber 28. This change allows for an even more precise representation of the terroir.

Taste and Bouquet

In the glass, the Spätburgunder Ingelheim 2020 presents itself in a rich, transparent ruby red. The bouquet is characterized by juicy cherry and red berry fruits. Notes of dried coffee cherries, a hint of mint, as well as earthy and floral nuances, round off the aroma. This combination provides a complex and multi-layered olfactory experience that heightens the anticipation of the first sip.

On the palate, the wine appears juicy, slender, and elegant. Although still somewhat youthful, it is already very approachable. The light grip on the tongue, the silky tannins, and the fine acid backbone give the wine freshness and additional elegance. The mouthfeel is lively and inviting. The refreshing acidity and the grip from the limestone also provide a pleasant length and give the wine structure.

The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and then spontaneously fermented, with 20% of the grapes not being destemmed. The ageing process initially takes twelve months, mostly in large wooden barrels. The higher-quality batches mature in small used barrels. After this period, the wine is aged for another nine months in stainless steel. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration and without any other aids or additives, except for a bit of sulfur. These methods preserve the purity and authenticity of the wine and give it its special character.
