Winemakers with tradition and passion

But what is the right wine for goose?

We spoke with Werner Näkel from Weingut Meyer-Näkel in Dernau. What connects us with the winery is a passion for enjoyment with high-quality products.

Werner Näkel is a winemaker driven by tradition and passion. His love for dry red wines comes from his father, which was unusual in the 1960s and 70s when the predominant wine taste was very sweet. Näkel cultivated dry German red wine, and today a good glass of his Pinot Noir is the perfect accompaniment to a plate of goose. At Meyer-Näkel, Pinot Noir is... Cuvée La Redoute / Redüttchen produced exclusively for us.

Näkel recommends red wine with the Christmas classic, which should have enough tannins to make the goose „easier to digest“.

Sustainability is at the heart of winemaker Werner Näkel's work.

Werner Näkel was a founding member of „fair'n green“, an association of winegrowers who are committed to sustainability in their businesses. Mr. Näkel explains that due to sustainable management, smaller quantities are harvested in autumn, but the grapes are more intense.

Membership with „fair´n green“ means that environmental protection and nature-oriented viticulture, including the promotion of biodiversity and the protection of natural resources, are implemented, fair wages are paid to all employees, and CO2 emissions are kept as low as possible. To achieve this, thinner glass bottles are produced, which use less glass and consequently weigh less, offering an ecological saving on transport routes. Partners are also carefully selected for shipping to meet these demands. This means you can enjoy with a clear conscience. That brings joy.

Wine pairing for goose dinner at Restaurant Redüttchen

But what is the right wine for goose?

For Christmas and goose, Werner Näkel recommends an elegant red wine such as Pinot Noir. Cuvée La Redoute / RedüttchenNot too heavy, something that's easy to drink and you don't notice the alcohol too much. The winter evenings are long, after all. For Christmas Eve, it can also be a special wine; one should celebrate the occasion. Generally, it's the right wine if you can't get enough of it.

We asked what makes a wine producer's heart sing: „A fine old Burgundy or a Trockenbeerenauslese with goose liver at Christmas... never enough.“ Well then, happy wine Christmas!
