Maturation

The winemaking process is an art that is carried out with great care. First, the grapes are macerated for 20 days at temperatures of 28 to 30°C. This process gently extracts the valuable aromas, colors, and tannins from the grapes. During maceration, the must is regularly circulated to further optimize extraction and ensure an intense taste experience is achieved. After this phase, the wine is aged over a period of 12 months. A refined blend of different aging methods is used. Part of the wine matures in stainless steel tanks, which help to preserve the freshness and fruitiness. Another part is stored in large Slavonian oak barrels, which give the wine gentle wood notes and a harmonious structure. Finally, the rest matures in French barriques and tonneaux that have already been used once. These barrels help to give the wine fine, complex wood aromas that subtly combine with the natural aromas of the wine without overpowering it. This carefully coordinated method of aging and maturation ensures that the finished wine has a balanced structure and a rich flavor profile that delights both connoisseurs and gourmets.

Scent

Along with the rich fragrance palette of wild berries, Amarena cherries and black peppers, this wine also offers subtle hints of earthy notes and light herbal nuances. This combination gives it a depth and complexity that is noticeable both on the first sniff and with each further uncomplicated enjoyment. With every sip, the wine unfolds its full value, starting with a strong fruitiness that seamlessly transitions into spicy wood notes and a subtle tannin structure. This variety and harmonious balance make it an excellent companion – be it at a more formal occasion or a cozy dinner at home. The appealingly long finish ultimately ensures that this wine remains in the memory for a long time and makes you want more.

Taste

The wine impresses with its complex composition of flavors. On the palate, rich dark spice notes unfold, underpinned by a fine wood note, giving the wine a special depth and refinement. The aromas of blackberry and black cherry come to the fore, accompanied by a hint of licorice and black pepper, which give the wine spice and character. Underlined by a pleasant acidity, it remains lively and stimulating. It presents itself as powerful and full-bodied, highlighting its hearty and dynamic flavor profile. The silky tannins are present but well integrated, giving the wine structure without being dominant. This harmonious balance between the fruity opulence and the structured spice ensures that the wine appears elegant despite its intensity and that all nuances are in harmony. The finish leaves a lasting length, characterized by mineral accents. This gives the wine an additional dimension and reflects the terroir from which it originates. Despite these intense characteristics, it remains juicy in the mouth, and at the end, the wine surprises with only a slightly pronounced tannin structure. This creates a harmonious experience that gives rise to new discoveries with every sip.

Serving suggestion

The heartily spiced dishes such as wild game stew, roasts or pasta with truffles harmonize perfectly with the complex structure and full-bodied taste of the wine, as they emphasize the balance between fruitiness and spice. This combination elevates the culinary experience to a new level. To enjoy the wine optimally, make sure to serve it at the right temperature. A temperature of around 16-18 degrees Celsius is ideal to bring out the aromas perfectly. It is best to use large Bordeaux glasses, as these can skillfully unfold the bouquet of the wine. Decanting the wine can also be beneficial as it further opens the aromas and intensifies the drinking experience. This wine is an excellent example of the winemaker's artistry and the potential of the grape variety. Its long-lasting finish and multi-layered character guarantee a special taste experience that convinces even demanding palates. In addition, it develops additional nuances over the years, which can further enhance the enjoyment.
