Expansion

During vinification, the wine is fermented for 21 days at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, with a maximum temperature of 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 matured for 24 months in oak barrels. Both first and second passage barrels are used to ensure a balance of fresh wood notes and more mature, subtle oak aromas. This ageing gives the wine its complexity and the ability to develop the characteristic, nuanced flavor elements that are typical of a high-quality cuvée.

Fragrance

The wine's fragrance unfolds with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, including juicy cherries and a variety of wild berries, offering a seductive fruitiness. These fruity notes are elegantly enveloped by subtle spicy 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 aromatic profile that underlines the complex character and complexity of the wine. All these elements together ensure that the wine has an inviting aroma that is fascinating for wine connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.

Flavor

The wine presents itself with an impressively silky texture that gently caresses the palate. With its rich aromatic palette of ripe red fruits such as strawberries and blackberries, it is accompanied by subtle nuances of spice. This combination gives the wine a remarkable balance between fruitiness and spice, making the taste harmonious and elegant. The tannins are fine and perfectly integrated, giving 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 suggestion

The wine develops 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 stew, as its rich aromas harmonize perfectly with the intense taste of the game. It also goes well with lamb or beef dishes, especially if these are prepared with herbs and spices that emphasize the spicy nuances of the wine.
For cheese lovers, this wine makes an excellent pairing with mature cheeses such as Comté or Manchego. The aromas of the wine perfectly complement the complex, nutty notes of these cheeses and make for an enjoyable experience. However, the wine is not only an excellent accompaniment to food, but can also be enjoyed on its own. It impresses with its balance and complexity, revealing new aromas and impressions with every sip, ideal for a relaxing evening or special occasions.
