Vintage
In many respects 2021 was a demanding and challenging wine growing year. The winter months were mainly sunny but very cold. In spring the temperature was slow to rise, and that delayed the vegetative development of the vines. This was only partly compensated by the warm and sunny start to the summer, while the weather in July and August was very varied. The grape harvest accordingly began relatively late, on September 9. The wet September was an organizational problem for our wine growers, but ultimately a very good harvest was completed on October 26.
Tasting notes
– brilliant ruby red
– expressive bouquet of cherries, violets and marzipan
– an abundance of cherry fruit on the palate, smooth with fine, elegant tannins
Recommendation
This wine is an ideal partner to heavier meat dishes, game and piquant hard cheeses.
Vinification
Ripe, perfectly selected grapes, fermentation on the skins in large, open wooden casks at 25°C, two-week extended maceration, malo-lactic and 12-month aging in barrique and tonneaux, light filtration before bottling
