The Catharina 2021 is bold yet gentle, direct yet subtle, confident and seductive. It displays intense and inviting aromas of blackberries and plums, cassis and lavender blossoms, vanilla pods and dark chocolate. Both on the nose and palate, layers of concentrated red and black fruits (raspberry, blackcurrant, and black cherry) are revealed, underpinned by the full, supple texture of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Light herbal notes from the Merlot provide a refreshing finish, while the Malbec rounds out the blend, adding structure and depth.

Vinifikation Our red flagship, Catharina, is blended only from the best barrels of each vintage. Each variety is vinified separately and aged in the traditional red wine style. On average, the grapes were harvested with a sugar content of 23-25°Oechsle. The juice was fermented on the skins for 15-20 days, with the temperature in the tank rising to 30°C. Gentle pumping over was carried out twice daily. After pressing, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels (75% new, 20% second fill and 5% third fill) for malolactic fermentation and maturation for 18 months. Thereafter, the wine was assembled and released for further maturation for 6 months.
