The Einzelstück is a passion project of Markus Schneider, a special wine that is only vinified in truly exceptional years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortugieser has a tradition in the Palatinate; while young vines yield a lot, they produce rather thin wines. This is not the case with these Portugieser grapes, grown in Markus Schneider's oldest vine parcels. Only a small yield and small, but concentrated berries grow on the gnarled, bony vines that thrive in the Mittelwanne, a roughly 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. Furthermore, it is high-yielding and delicious, producing mild red wines with comparatively little tannin, which are drinkable early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarkus Schneider's 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 yet powerful, elegant and refined with soft tannins and a long-lasting 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. At the right time, the small, ripe grapes are harvested by hand and carefully processed in the modern winery buildings. 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 without external intervention in multi-year wooden barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe store professionally, in darkness and at constant temperature in modern rooms tempered with the help of geothermal energy and photovoltaic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEinzelstück – a wine and its values\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 14% vol. alcohol\u003cbr\u003e• 5.7 g\/l acidity\u003cbr\u003e• 3.3 g\/l residual sugar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Markus Schneider","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":56363717132614,"sku":"008WMS2918","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/Markus-Schneider-einzelstueck-2018.png?v=1779189227","url":"https:\/\/genussland.de\/en\/products\/markus-schneider-einzelstueck-rotwein-2018","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
