MaturationThe winemaking process focuses particularly on care and quality at every stage of production. The grapes are hand-picked, allowing the best fruit to be selected, and then thoroughly examined on a double sorting table to ensure the highest quality.
After harvest, the grapes are transported into the fermentation tanks by gravity to avoid damage. The individual grape varieties are each vinified separately. This approach preserves the characteristic aromas and the individuality of each variety. The fermentation and maceration process takes place under control in steel tanks over a period of 20 to 25 days, with the temperature carefully regulated to a maximum of 28°C in order to preserve the freshness and the fruity notes of the grapes. After malolactic fermentation, which lends the wine a pleasant suppleness, the wine matures. For ageing, 80% of the wine is used in 500-litre tonneaux of French and Austrian oak, while the remaining 20% is matured in smaller 225-litre barrels of French oak. These oak barrels contribute to the development of complexity, depth and a harmonious flavour profile. The final refinement takes place in the bottle, where the wine rests further before it can finally be enjoyed. This gives the wine the opportunity to develop its character fully. This careful and well-planned maturation process results in an elegant, balanced wine with multi-layered aromas that will delight wine lovers.

ScentThe aroma of this wine unfolds a fascinating complexity, capable of captivating any passionate wine lover. From the first sniff, an intense aroma of ripe, dark berries such as blackberries and black currants fills the nose. These fruity notes are artfully complemented by the warmth of sun-kissed cherries, giving the aroma profile a juicy and inviting quality.

A gentle hint of cinnamon and cloves pushes almost teasingly through the fruity dominance, giving the aroma an elegant spiciness that adds sophistication. Moreover, delicate, earthy nuances can be perceived, reminiscent of fresh forest floor after a summer rain, giving the wine an exciting connection to the earth. Thanks to its aging, perhaps in fine wooden barrels, luxurious notes of vanilla and tobacco are added. These facets add an extra dimension of warmth and depth.
