Pflüger – Organic Wine Production
The vines for the Cuvée Noir from Weingut Pflüger grow in biodynamically-organically cultivated vineyards on the sandy soils of the Nonnengarten and Sonnenberg in Dürkheim. In order to harvest ripe grapes in autumn, winemaker Alexander Pflüger has been working according to biodynamic principles since 2008, refraining from artificial fertilizers, as well as herbicides and insecticides, following the course of the seasons and the moon, and working as close to nature as possible. Weingut Pflüger is Demeter certified.
The grapes are often harvested in several passes. In the winery's press house, which is located opposite the Saline in Bad Dürkheim, the grapes are gently processed further. The mash is pressed with gentle pressure and the must is spontaneously fermented. The wines are fermented separately and then blended. Subsequently, the wine was aged for approximately 10 months in large wooden barrels made of Palatinate oak.
