The Einzelstück is a passion project of Markus Schneider, a special wine that is only vinified in truly special years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortugieser has a tradition in the Palatinate; young vines yield a lot but produce rather thin wines. This is different with these Portugieser grapes, grown in Markus Schneider's oldest vineyard plots. Only a small yield and small, but concentrated berries grow on the gnarled, bony vines that thrive in the Mittelwanne, an approximately 6-hectare plot 90m above sea level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Portugieser grape variety began its journey in the 18th century from Portugal, across the Balkans and Lower Styria in Slovenia, to Germany. Its demands on the location are not high; it thrives even on nutrient-poor, sandy soils. It is also productive and palatable, producing mild red wines with comparatively little tannin that are ready to drink early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Markus Schneider Einzelstück shows a dense bouquet of red fruits, such as sour cherries and freshly picked plums, dark cocoa with vanilla joins in, while roasted notes and cloves round off the impressions. On the palate, it is delicate and at the same time powerful, elegant and refined with soft tannins and a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMarkus Schneider – Wine Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this red wine from Markus Schneider grow on nearly hundred-year-old Portugieser vines on sandy soils in Ellerstadt in the Palatinate. Harvested by hand at the right time on September 26, 2020, the small, ripe grapes are gently processed in the modern winery building. After classic mash fermentation with stems in open vats and a maceration period of 5 days, the mash is gently pressed under low pressure and then aged in multi-year wooden barrels without external intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matured 2020 vintage is stored professionally, dark and at a constant temperature in modern rooms tempered with the help of geothermal energy and a photovoltaic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEinzelstück Portugieser – a wine and its values\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region Palatinate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety Portugieser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13.5% vol.
