Cellar
A masterpiece of nature.
A masterpiece of nature. A vinous masterpiece that emerges only in truly exceptional years – a rarity in its kind. Harvested very late in November, ultimately prompted by bees trying to claim the grapes for themselves. Extended skin fermentation and 28 months of barrel aging, then bottled with the utmost care, leaving a few grams of natural grape sugar behind.

Wine Description
Shiny, bright ruby red with violet reflections, mysterious, intense bouquet of overripe wild berries, rhubarb and sour cherries. Surprising on the palate with its harmony of tartness and sweetness, strong, long finish. A very unusual temptation, a local exotic that many have never met before.
Food Pairing
It pairs very well with game dishes served with red wine sauce, but also with spicy cheese, and is wonderful with blue cheese accompanied by fruit bread or with a vegan autumnal chocolate cake with red wine poached pears.
Winery
For over 30 years, the Kränzelhof in Tscherms has been producing wine on-site and also offers a garden to visit, featuring rotating art exhibitions and culinary experiences at the Miil and Essbar restaurants.
