Product Notes

Villa Wolf Dornfelder is a red wine made from the Dornfelder grape, which is native to Germany. The wine has a deep purple color and an intense aroma of black cherries, plums, and spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and a hint of oak. The tannins are smooth and well integrated, which gives the wine a velvety texture and a long finish. This wine is a perfect match for hearty dishes such as roasted meats, stews, and casseroles. It is also a great accompaniment to cheese and chocolate desserts. Villa Wolf Dornfelder is a wine that is easy to enjoy and offers great value for money.

Tasting Notes

Dornfelder is an extremely popular German red grape that is based on four classic varieties: Lemberger (aka Blaufränkisch), Portugieser, Frühburgunder and Trollinger. It produces fruity, medium-bodied wines with deep colour and good acidity. Made in a medium-sweet, fruit-forward style, its lightly floral aroma and plush flavours of plums and cherries are well balanced by velvety tannins. It has an intense colour, lip-smacking flavour, and pairs well with a wide variety of foods.

About the Winery

Villa Wolf

The J.L. Wolf winery, which has a long history dating back to 1756 and is located in the Pfalz region of Germany, was acquired by Ernst Loosen in 1996. According to the designs of the Karlsruhe architect Friedrich Eisenlohr, Villa Wolf is a rural home in the Italian style that was finished in 1843. The acquisition of J.L. Wolf (now known as Villa Wolf) brought back memories for Ernst Loosen. The chance to revitalize a winery with a good supply of vines in ideal settings emerged, much like with the Dr. Loosen Winery. Both wineries are in unique regions: Dr. Loosen is in Bernkastel on the Middle Mosel, which has the highest density of premium vineyard sites.

The single vineyard properties are found in the northern Pfalz towns of Wachenheim and Forst, which border the Mittelhaardt. Just the ripe and nutritious grapes are used to create dry wines at every single vineyard location, which are all carefully hand-picked. The Middle Haardt's distinct regional climate, mineral-rich limestone, basalt, and sandstone soils, and the vines' extensive age are the cornerstones of the vineyards' terroir. The Royal Bavarian Government developed a vineyard category based on the land tax in 1828, which is comparable to the Grand Cru scheme in Burgundy, where the Villa Wolf vines are located, recognising their significance for the creation of exceptional wines even before then.

The property's vineyards have also applied for organic certification, which is a procedure that will require many years to finish and would make 2022 the inaugural year with official organic certification. Patrick Moellendorf, the person in charge of growing grapes and winemaking at this winery since 2011, is responsible for this. The idea behind producing exceptional wines in the family vineyards is to blend sustainable, organic farming techniques with careful fruit treatment and conventional, simple winemaking. Their fine wines have long represented fantastic value in terms of taste, consistency, and varietal accuracy.
