Cabernet 'Riserva' 2018 - Weingut H. Lentsch

VINIFICATION

The grapes were harvested and selected by hand in several passes from mid to late
October. Fermentation with the grape's own natural yeasts took place for 3 weeks on the skins in open wooden vats. The wine was initially aged for 12 months in new oak tonneau. The wine was then bottled unfiltered and matured for a further 12 months.

DESCRIPTION

The Cabernet Riserva presents itself in intense, deep ruby red with a dense core. On the nose, the wine is characterized by complex intensity with aromas of dark fruit (blueberry, cranberry, blackcurrant, blackberry), spices (clove, tobacco, dark chocolate) and slightly earthy notes. It is complex on the palate with a powerful body and harmonious interplay of concentrated fruit and oak wood aromas. The slightly firm, fine tannins are harmonious with the lively acidity. It has a lingering persistence with bite and power.

RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS

Pasta dishes with strongly spiced sauces, red meat in all its varieties and mature hard cheese.
