Glow Glow Rays of Red 2024

MYR 240.00

Type: Red Wine (Natural / Organic / Light-bodied / Chilled Red)

Region: Nahe, Germany

Grapes: Dornfelder, Portugieser, St. Laurent, Regent & Pinotin

Alcohol ABV: 10%

Tasting Profile and Key Notes

Aroma:
Bright and playful, with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, redcurrant and fresh wild berries. Behind the fruit are lively herbal notes, a touch of black pepper and a subtle cola-like character. The overall nose is fresh, juicy and energetic rather than heavy or ripe.

Palate:
Light-bodied, juicy and refreshing with bright acidity and very gentle tannins. Red cherry, raspberry and redcurrant dominate, followed by fresh herbs and a light peppery savouriness. The palate has an almost weightless, "glou-glou" quality, with a dry, lively finish that makes you immediately want another sip.

Winemaking

The five varieties are treated separately to highlight their individual characters. Dornfelder, Regent and Pinotin are destemmed and given a 6-day cold maceration, while St. Laurent undergoes approximately 14 days of skin fermentation. Portugieser is direct-pressed. The different components ferment spontaneously and are matured in a combination of old oak barrels and stainless steel before blending. The wine is unfined, unfiltered and bottled without added sulphur, following Glow Glow's minimal-intervention philosophy.

Farming

Glow Glow is the natural-wine project of Pauline and Carl Baumberger at Weingut Baumberger in the Nahe. The family winery works around 14.5 hectares of organically farmed vineyards, with soils including loam, loess and sand. Their philosophy is essentially "nothing added, nothing taken away", allowing the grapes and the Nahe's cool climate to express themselves with freshness, delicacy and energy.
