Vinification
The name "Cuvée Barrique" was created in 1980 to refer to the Bordeaux style wines. Recently, it was renamed Hoflein Rot to meet contemporary appellation standards. All grapes are sourced from the Bühlweingarten and Ried Aubühl, vineyards with gravelly loam and loess soils with lime-rich inclusions. Aged in wood for 1 year. Only use of old wooden barrels.
