Life edit
Julia Bertram was born on 24 December 1989 and initially went to St. Martin's Primary School in Dernau and the Kloster Kalvarienberg grammar school in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler.[5] Subsequently, she underwent a placement at the vineyard of Ahr vintner, Werner Näkel, before studying viticulture and oenology, alongside her predecessor, in Geisenheim. In 2012 she was awarded her Bachelor of Science degree for this course.[6] Her aim was to complete a semester in "International Winemaking" at the same college.[7]
From 10 June 2011[8] to September 2012, Bertram was the Ahr Wine Queen before she took part in the German Wine Queen competition.
