"kunst.stück" Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva DOC 2015 MAGNUM

Vintage

Summer 2015 was characterized by higher than average temperatures and lack of rainfalls. The weather situation induced us to an early harvest epoch thoughts. The heat, however, did slow the grapes development therefore we had an average harvest’s epoch which began on September 1 and ended on October 27. We immediately recognize the potential of an absolutely promising vintage when we saw the grapes quality brought to the cellar. The red wines have harmonic and powerful structure, hardly comparable to other vintages.

Tasting notes

– Intense, deep ruby red – A summer walk in the woods, where the scents of the rain, herbs and berries unite and blend with the sweetness of the oak. – A wine to drink when you don‘t really feel like drinking. Elegant tannins that linger on the palate and invite another sip. And another. And yet another …

Recommendation

The perfect wine for those rare moments with true friends… or with your loved one. Please note: A second bottle in reserve is always a good idea!

Vinification

We are convinced that, in the case of a really great red wine, the vinification has relatively little influence on the final result. It is simply a means of accentuating the quality of the basic materials, i.e. the grapes. A good winemaker achieves this in the most direct and shortest possible way. If you want to know all about it: rermentation in large wooden casks with extended maceration for 4 weeks, malo-lactic fermentation and 18 month ageing in barrique (80% new), light filtration and bottling.

Vineyard

Gently sloping, south-east facing vineyard at 220 – 260 meters above sea level at St. Josef, very warm micro-climate, loamy, gravely weathered chalk.
