Product Description:
The nose is initially quite robust with lots of ripe dark berry fruit, giving way to notes of cedar and spice. A dense palate, packed with ripe fruit, suggests a powerful, heavy wine, yet the fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity create a very elegant palate that portends a long-lasting finish.

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.
