mehrere Informationen

The Rickety Bridge The Bridge is so much more than a reserve Cabernet Sauvignon! It is without doubt a small masterpiece that can easily compete with the great Cabernets of the international wine world. Its dazzling bouquet of mint, dark cherries and aromatic tobacco, as well as a fine hint of clove, make it a true feast for the senses even before the first sip! The palate is caressed by delicious nuances of blackcurrants, lush red fruit and subtle chocolate notes, wonderfully carried by the natural acidity of the wine, which gives a linear and elegant mouthfeel. Dense, full-bodied and generous with an incredibly supple structure that remarkably lines the entire mouth. Sumptuous and velvety tannins provide graceful grace on the tongue. An immensely full-bodied, yet refined and finesse-rich wine. Its long-lasting finish skilfully rounds off this masterpiece of wine craftsmanship and leaves nothing to be desired!

Treatment in the cellar

After a short cold swelling phase, the grapes fermented naturally in small open steel tanks at regulated 28 ̊C. During the fermentation process, the cap was submerged by hand six times a day. After 36 days on the skin, the wine was pressed in the traditional way with bare leg strength into small French barrels of 100% new French oak, where the malolactic fermentation was completed and the wine was allowed to mature for 22 months.
