2018 Ithaka Cuvée
Drink because…
A great blend of grapes
Grapes
Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
Viticulture
This grape blend holds multiple grapes, which grow in the Gundersheimer Höllenbrand. The south-facing slope is hell-hot! The grapes are harvested when they are fully ripe.
Winemaking
Mash fermentation occurs, which extracts extra aroma and colour from the skins. The grapes' own yeasts are used during fermentation.
Tasting Note
Notes of chocolate can be detected behind the dense blackberry bouquet. The palate is full with a soft texture with fine-grained tannins. The aromatic field is inspired by dark, precious woods.
