mehrere Informationen

The Tokara Shiraz flows into the glass in a red plum tone and exudes a complex bouquet of dark plums, ripe blackberries and wild shrub fruit, paired with subtle hints of dried herbs, black olives, smoked meat and cedar wood. On the palate, it is characterized by a slightly melted fruit, aromas of red fruits and a fine herbaceous nuance. Juicy on the middle palate, this brilliant Shiraz ends with slightly chalky tannins in a pleasantly dry finish. The taste is rich and dense, yet wonderfully fresh.

Treatment in the cellar

After the harvest, the grapes were sorted and crushed by hand. The spontaneous fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks and in wood. The malolactic fermentation was carried out in wooden barrels, after which the wine matured for 10 months in French oak barrels, 10% of which were virgin wood and the rest second to fifth fillings.
