Product Description:
On the palate, the wine is smooth with a luxurious, silky texture. Concentrated aromas of ripe black fruits and dark chocolate merge to create an expressive taste experience. Its balanced structure provides a pleasant richness, while subtle spice notes linger delicately in the long finish. In the glass, vibrant notes of blackcurrant, black plum, dark cherry, and raspberry are accompanied by an alluring spice of cinnamon and delicate clove.

Vinifikation
After the 2022 harvest, conditions were cooler and drier, but sufficient chilling hours ensured problem-free budburst. Due to the dry conditions, the soils warmed up faster, leading to budburst occurring 1–2 weeks earlier. Initial growth was vigorous and promising. However, due to the drought and lower water availability, the berries remained smaller. Rain in December increased disease pressure, which required winemakers to adapt their measures. Ripening then progressed quickly and evenly, and harvesting began 7–10 days earlier than in the previous year. Overall, the conditions resulted in small, concentrated berries with good balance. The 2023 vintage is described as a result of favorable weather conditions and targeted vineyard work, with an earlier harvest and a focus on fruit-driven, concentrated, and terroir-driven wines.
