mehrere Informationen

The Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Cabernet with dark fruit aromas of blackcurrant and cherry and subtle hints of slightly herbaceous fynbos. This bouquet, already absorbed by the nose, extends to the full-bodied palate, where it is perfectly accompanied by delicious nuances of fragrant cedar wood and fine spices. Its smooth texture gives an incredibly long finish. A highly endowed Cabernet Sauvignon of master class! This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested by hand and sorted with great care, berry by berry, so that only the purest fruit could be used in the further production process. The grapes were destemmed and, depending on the terroir, pumped into stainless steel tanks and open lagares, where the juice was regularly pumped over for optimal extraction of colour and aromas. After the primary fermentation, three weeks of maceration took place before pressing. The wine then matured for 20 months in French oak barrels (75% new wood, 25% second and third wood).
