Lergenmüller Urgewalt Dornfelder Trocken 2022
RIPE FOREST BERRIES, GENTLE OAK AND DARK SPICE. ELEGANT PFALZ DORNFELDER WITH MODERATE ACIDITY, LAYERED FRUIT AND A LONG, STRUCTURED FINISH.
Powerful by name, surprisingly refined by nature.
Lergenmüller Urgewalt Dornfelder Trocken 2022 is fermented on the skins before maturing in French and German wooden barrels. This careful ageing adds structure and complexity without obscuring Dornfelder’s naturally generous fruit.
Ripe forest berries form the heart of the wine, accompanied by restrained oak, dark spice and subtle earthy nuances. The palate is layered and substantial, while moderate acidity keeps the wine balanced and composed.
Its distinctive terroir remains present beneath the fruit and wood, creating an elegant Dornfelder with depth and excellent potential for further development in the bottle.
Named Urgewalt—an elemental force.
Fortunately, it has remembered its table manners.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red with dark purple reflections.
Ripe forest berries dominate the bouquet, supported by dark cherry, gentle toasted wood and restrained spice.
Concentrated and layered on the palate, with generous fruit, moderate acidity and a smooth, structured texture. Subtle oak and earthy nuances accompany the elegant, persistent finish.

Perfect serve
Serve lightly cool at 14–16°C in a generous red-wine glass.
Decanting is not essential, although approximately 30 minutes of aeration will help open the concentrated berry fruit and bring the oak and spice into greater harmony.
Do not serve it too warm.
Urgewalt already supplies sufficient force of its own.
Food pairing
Its concentrated fruit, moderate acidity and wood-aged structure make this Dornfelder an excellent companion for game, lamb, pork, beef and richly flavoured pasta dishes.
Serve with:
Roast venison
Wild-boar casserole
Slow-cooked lamb shoulder
Grilled pork tenderloin
Braised beef
Beef and mushroom stew
Pasta with a rich tomato ragù
Mushroom pappardelle
Aubergine parmigiana
Smoked vegetable casserole
Mature hard cheeses
The ripe berry character complements roasted and braised meat, while the wine’s moderate acidity balances rich sauces. Its gentle oak influence also works particularly well with smoked ingredients, mushrooms and mature cheese.
A natural companion for substantial food.
The clue was perhaps in the name.
