MaturationThe maturation of this wine is a fascinating process that elevates it to an exceptional tasting experience. It follows the double-barrique method, which is particularly elaborate and produces an impressive variety of aromas as well as complex flavour nuances. First, the wine ages for eight months in new barrique barrels. This first phase gives it a distinctive wood note and intense aromas such as vanilla and toasty notes, which arise from the close contact with the fresh wood. After this first maturation, the wine is transferred to completely new barrique barrels, where it spends a further eight months. This step opens up a new dimension of flavour development for the wine, as the fresh barrels release additional toasty notes while gently rounding out the existing tannins.
Through this double maturation in new barrels, the wine unfolds a fascinating variety of flavour notes – from intense vanilla tones through subtle smoky nuances to delicate chocolate and spice notes. The careful handling and the sophisticated maturation method ensure not only an impressive structure but also a harmonious aromatic profile that makes the wine a truly exquisite experience.

ScentThe bouquet of the wine beguiles the senses with a seductive, sensual character. From the very first breath an impressive interplay of aromas unfolds: delicate vanilla and fine cocoa combine with juicy cherries, while subtle coffee notes lend additional complexity. This harmonious melody of aromas testifies to the craftsmanship of the winemakers, who perfectly capture the essence of the grape.
The wine fills the room with its inviting presence and turns any occasion into something special. Its rich aromatic profile speaks to all the senses and invites you to savour the moment intensely. It is as if the wine tells a story – of sun-drenched vineyards and passionate dedication. A delight for connoisseurs and enthusiasts that gives unforgettable moments.
TasteThe wine immediately develops a powerful presence and envelops the palate with full-bodied aromas. An opulent fruit profile delights from the very first sip: ripe blackcurrants and juicy blackberries meld with freshly picked notes. This fruity richness is complemented by deep, smoky accents of mocha and dark chocolate, while fine coffee nuances and earthy notes lend the wine impressive depth. A hint of tobacco and dried herbs harmonize with spicy liquorice tones. The powerful, supple tannins offer remarkable texture and great ageing potential. The monumental finish is majestic, with a length that lingers. A subtle mineral note, accompanied by vanilla and cedar wood, rounds off the experience. Every sip is an unforgettable pleasure that seduces all the senses.
Serving suggestionThis wine is the perfect companion for indulgent culinary experiences. Its rich aromas harmonise ideally with robust dishes, especially roasted meat and game such as venison or wild boar. With pasta dishes, above all an intense wild boar ragù or a bolognese, it reveals its virtues and perfectly highlights the seasoning.
Yet the wine shows its talent not only with hearty fare – with dark chocolate desserts, too, it works its magic. The sweet and bitter nuances of the chocolate harmonise wonderfully with the fruity aromas of the wine and provide a crowning finish.
Its versatile character makes it an exciting discovery for wine lovers who appreciate new flavour combinations. With every sip it reveals new facets and turns sociable evenings into special moments of pleasure.
