The complex bouquet of this single-varietal Cabernet includes notes of black cherries, dark plums, and blackcurrants. These are complemented by wonderfully harmonious tones of cedar, oak, and cigar box. On the palate, it offers great density, finely polished tannins, and great elegance. The oak notes are also impressively well integrated, along with a fascinating balance. The finish lingers for a long time, with a beautiful, lasting spiciness.

Geschacksnoten Aged in oak barrels

Vinifikation The various vineyard blocks were harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified separately. After careful selection in the vineyard, the grapes were hand-sorted at the winery, ensuring that only the best fruit was vinified. After destemming, the grapes were fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and traditional open-top fermenters. At Kleine Zalze, a combination of punch-downs and pump-overs was used at various stages of fermentation to achieve the best possible extraction and to balance flavour and tannin. Particular attention was paid to not over-extracting the wine and maintaining density without compromising elegance. After primary fermentation, the grapes were gently pressed and transferred to French oak barrels (40% new, 30% second fill, and 30% third fill) for 20 months before blending.
