Training on a Lyra system lets the grapes get that extra portion of sunlight for physiological ripeness and complexity. A reserve wine showing fine cassis notes in classic claret style, capturing elegant and thightly knit tannins as well as a smooth and silky finish. Matured in 600-liter-barrels of regional Manhartsberg oak, the wine is only slightly filtered and could contain sediments.
FALSTAFF ROTWEIN GUIDE 2023 (vintage 2019): 93 Points Dark ruby colour with a deep core, purple hues. Black berries, ripe cherries, a silky touch of praline, inviting nose. Complex, blackberry notes, a lively acidity, chocolaty tannins, showing minerality on the finish, will reward cellaring.
FALSTAFF ROTWEIN GUIDE 2022 (vintage 2018): 92 Points Strong ruby colour, purple hues. Wild red, but sweet berries, a touch of cherries and strawberries, some orange zest whiffs. Juicy, ripe red berry confit, clearly showing well integrated tannins, minerality, good length, already nicely developed, spicy finish.
FALSTAFF ROTWEIN GUIDE 2022 (vintage 2018): 92 Points Strong ruby colour, purple hues. Wild red, but sweet berries, a touch of cherries and strawberries, some orange zest whiffs.
