Weingut Wolfgang Mertes

About

Wolfgang Mertes runs the cellar in Waldrach, where he ferments with natural yeasts from the vineyard. He was the first to plant Pinot Noir in the Ruwertal, back in 1987. The program centers on Riesling and Pinot Noir. Waldracher Sonnenberg Riesling and Riesling Spätlese feinherb anchor the work, while Lara, a dry red aged in barrique, represents the house's approach to the darker fruit.
