mehrere Informationen

The Keermont Pondok Rug Cabernet Franc presents itself in a glass of dark violet with pink reflections and exudes classic aromas of fine herbs, ripe strawberries and red fruit candies. Intense nuances of red fruit caress the palate, paired with hints of effervescent red pepper and blackcurrant. The tannin structure is firm and grippy with an expressive acidity in the core of the wine. A long-lasting and powerful dry finish completes this masterpiece. Pondok Rug - a mountain ridge (rug), which got its name from a simple and rather primitive shepherd's hut (pondok). This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this first-class Cabernet Franc were hand-picked and vinified separately depending on the block of vines and degree of ripeness. The fermentation process took place in a natural, traditional and particularly careful way in open fermenters. After the fermentation was completed, the wine matured for 20 months in French barriques and was then bottled unfiltered by hand.
