Jraaduss Red 2020, Kreuzberg 0.75
On July 14 and 15, 2021, Germany experienced a disaster in the form of the second deadliest flood in history.
The storm in Hamburg in 1962 claimed the most victims - 315. In 2021, 134 people died as a result of the catastrophic event, and billions of euros in damages were incurred throughout Germany.
The flood was preceded by an extreme amount of rainfall. Both the Ahr and Moselle rivers overflowed their banks and destroyed 3,000 of the 4,200 buildings in the Ahr Valley. Ultimately, 75% of the valley's residents were affected. The rains along the entire course of the Moselle River, caused by the excess water, were a natural disaster that led not only to severe destruction for people and their homes, but also for the wines and vineyards in the Ahr Valley.
Red fruits, cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants with a hint of dark chocolate. Full tannins, delicately aromatic with balanced acidity.
VIDA Wines & Spirits decided to help the Kreuzberg winery by purchasing wines affected by the flood and helping to restore the winery and the business of this iconic winery known for its Pinot Noirs (Spätburgunder). As can be seen from the photos, the wine labels have been damaged to some extent, but the wine inside is preserved and there is no organoleptic change in its quality.
