The wine region of Ahr
Small German valley south of Bonn, the country's largest contiguous single red-grape zone. Signature Spatburgunder (Pinot Noir) (>60%): elegant, structured reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and sweet spice, silky tannins and taut freshness — Burgundian style in an improbable climate. Also early Fruhburgunder, fleshier. ~560 ha on steep slopes over schist and slate, sheltered temperate microclimate.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
