mehrere Informationen

The idiom Zinfandel is a wonderful representative of this very special grape variety. Silky and powerful, this elegant wine is medium-bodied and of excellent weight. The nose reveals delicious aromas of brown caramel and sweet fynbos. On the palate there are seductive notes of rosemary, oregano and red cherries. The attractive and long finish invites to the next glass. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

After a two-day cold swelling phase, the temperature of the grapes was brought to 25-28 °C for the fermentation process in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, malolactic fermentation and the subsequent 12-14 month long aging took place in 40% American and 60% French oak barrels.
