About the winemaker
Since 1983, Josef Michel has had his winery on the outskirts of Vogtsburg. The total vineyard area measures 13 hectares and is concentrated around Achkarren in the heart of the best part of the Baden wine region. The top vineyard Schlossberg is the basis of many extraordinary wines. With a short pruning method, selective manual harvesting and a guided fermentation, the potential of the vineyard is fully exploited. Michel is the leading producer on the Achkarrer Schlossberg. With his search for finesse, elegance and typicity, he has succeeded in raising his wines to an exceptionally high level in recent years. According to wine critics, his grauburgunder wines are among the best in Germany and his three-star wines are among the absolute top of Baden. Red is young and elegant and beautifully expresses the volcanic terroir that characterizes the soil in this part of Baden. Weingut J. Michel is a member of the VDP.

Details
| Vineyard | The wines come from a vineyard located on the Achkarrer Schlossberg. This vineyard has soils of volcanic rock, loess, and clay. It's not only one of the most beautiful mountains in the Kaiserstuhl region, but also the source of arguably the finest Kaiserstuhl wines. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | The grapes are pressed after harvest, and the must clarifies itself through sedimentation. The white wines are not macerated on the skins, but are fully aged in large wooden vats for 10 months. The Spatburgunder undergoes a 20-day maceration, and the wine is aged in French oak barriques for 12 months after pressing. Two-thirds of the barrels are new, and one-third are second-year. |
| Oak aging | Yes |
| Ageing potential | 10 years and more after harvest |
| Alcohol percentage | 12.5%, 13% |
| Closure | Natural cork |
