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.
