Erste Lage Kallstadter Steinacker. This site is the coolest site of Weingut Rings and is characterized by limestone and marl soils that store little water, so the roots of the vines have to dig deep into the earth. At night, the proximity to the Palatinate Forest brings cool winds to the Steinacker. Here, wines are produced that are shaped by the soil and origin, cool, precise, lean, mineral. The Rings Kallstadter Steinacker Spätburgunder is incredibly puristic, concentrated cherry, juicy, brilliant, with a delicate herbal spice, and an almost elusive stony minerality. Impressive. A wine so typical of the style of the two Rings brothers, which they simply master completely and for which their wines are loved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRings – Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kallstadter Steinacker is a rather large (151 hectares) single vineyard, located around the Palatinate wine village of Kallstadt, which lies between Grünstadt and Bad Dürkheim. It has been mentioned in documents since 1270, making it older than the Kallstadter Saumagen. The Spätburgunder vines from French clones stand between 160 and 240 meters above sea level on barren soils characterized by limestone and rugged rock. Here, the vines have to fight for water and minerals and root deeply into the Steinacker. The yields are low, but the quality is beyond any doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 4 hectares of Steinacker are cultivated by Andy and Steffen Rings. They place great importance on healthy soils, as only from them can healthy vines stand and healthy Pinot Noir grapes grow. Thus, they begin early with the sowing of buckwheat, clover, and radish, which prevents soil erosion, attracts beneficial insects, and retains moisture in the soil, which is revitalized with the application of horse manure as a natural fertilizer. Canopy management is also important for the quality of the wine: double shoots are manually removed, and depending on the weather, the grapes are defoliated and thinned out to aerate them. The Spätburgunder grapes are harvested by hand at the optimal time and then selected again and destemmed, 15% are pressed as whole bunches. The yield is 4,200 L\/Ha. The grapes are transferred to wooden fermentation vats without pumping, where natural yeasts are allowed to work and initiate spontaneous fermentation after a short maceration period. The aging takes place in used barriques (second and third filling). After 16 months on the lees, the Spätburgunder is bottled unfiltered without fining, enzymes, or other aids. This Pinot is a magnificent representative of the Burgundian style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKallstadter Steinacker Spätburgunder – a wine and its characteristics \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region Palatinate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVDP.
