MaturationDuring the winemaking process, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 21 days, with the maximum temperature being 27°C. This controlled fermentation allows the aromas to develop optimally without being affected by excessively high temperatures. After the main fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months in oak barrels. Both first and second passage barrels are used to ensure a balanced ratio of fresh wood notes and more mature, subtle oak aromas. This aging gives the wine its complexity and the ability to develop the characteristic, nuanced flavor elements typical of a high-quality cuvée.

ScentThe wine's aroma unfolds with intense notes of ripe red fruits, including juicy cherries and a variety of wild berries, offering a seductive fruitiness. These fruity notes are elegantly enveloped by delicate spice nuances reminiscent of cloves and cinnamon, adding an extra dimension and depth to the bouquet. A hint of vanilla, paired with delicate hints of oak, adds a gentle, warm sweetness that harmoniously rounds off the overall picture. This carefully balanced blend of fruity and spicy notes creates an impressive and long-lasting aroma profile that underscores the complex character and multifaceted nature of the wine. All these elements together ensure that the wine has an inviting aroma that is fascinating for both wine connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
TasteThe wine presents itself with an impressively silky texture that gently caresses the palate. With its rich range of aromas of ripe red fruits such as strawberries and blackberries, it is underpinned by fine spice nuances. This combination gives the wine a remarkable balance between fruitiness and spice, which makes the taste appear harmonious and elegant. The tannins are fine and perfectly integrated, which gives the wine additional depth and a smooth finish. The complexity of the aromas develops into a long-lasting finish that reveals new facets with every sip. Overall, the wine impresses with its successful symbiosis of complexity and pleasant drinkability, which appeals to both connoisseurs and gourmets.
Serving suggestionThe wine reaches its full potential when served at a temperature of around 16 to 18 degrees. It is an excellent accompaniment to hearty game dishes such as venison ragù, as its rich aromas harmonise perfectly with the intense flavour of the game. It also goes well with lamb or beef dishes, especially when prepared with herbs and spices that underline the wine's spicy nuances.
For cheese lovers, this wine offers an excellent pairing with mature cheeses such as Comté or Manchego. The wine's aromas perfectly complement the complex, nutty notes of these cheeses for a delightful experience. However, the wine is not only an excellent companion to food but can also be enjoyed on its own. It impresses with a balance and complexity that reveal new aromas and impressions with every sip – ideal for a relaxing evening or special occasions.
