Vintage
The winter months of 2022 were markedly poor in precipitation. Only April brought significant rain and replenished the groundwater somewhat. May was one of the warmest on record and gave a strong boost to vegetation. The entire summer was marked by drought and was reminiscent of the summers of 2003 and 2015. The ripening of the grapes progressed rapidly and already on August 24 the first grapes were delivered to the winery. As the autumn also brought hardly any precipitation, the grape harvest went smoothly and excellent grapes were harvested. As early as mid-October, the grape harvest came to an end.
Tasting notes
– brilliant ruby red
– expressive bouquet of cherries, violets and marzipan
– an abundance of cherry fruit on the palate, smooth with fine, elegant tannins
Recommendation
This wine is an ideal partner to heavier meat dishes, game and piquant hard cheeses.
