{"product_id":"spatburgunder-kaiserstuhl-holger-koch-natural-wine","title":"Spätburgunder Kaiserstuhl 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Spätburgunder comes from 35-year-old vines grown on loess soils at around 240 meters elevation in Bickensohl, one of the higher-lying villages in the Kaiserstuhl. The grapes sit at the entry level of Holger Koch's Burgundy-inspired hierarchy, where loess-dominant soils deliver fruit-forward, approachable wines with clear structure. The blend draws on both local Baden clones and selection massale cuttings from Burgundy and Alsace, in roughly a 55\/45 split.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, fermentation proceeds with indigenous yeast in 3,000-liter wooden casks with 14 days of maceration. The wine then ages nine months in those same large-format casks with no fining or filtration. The result is dry, precise, and light on its feet — sour cherry and red currant on the nose, a thread of clove and white tobacco spice, and clean acidity that keeps it lively through the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolger Koch has farmed organically since the estate was established, dropping formal certification after 2014 due to administrative burden but maintaining the same practices: no herbicides or synthetic fertilizers, cover crop seeding, and hand harvesting. The estate covers roughly 7.5 hectares of terraced vineyards around Bickensohl, all worked with low intervention in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 13% ABV, this is a red built for the table rather than the cellar. Serve it slightly cool — around 57 to 60°F — to keep the red fruit crisp and the tannins in check.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holger Koch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36794683588760,"sku":"KOCHSPAT18C","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/holger-koch-spatburgunder-germany-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630818706","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/spatburgunder-kaiserstuhl-holger-koch-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
