Cellar
Traditional bottle fermentation
The grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The base wine is then aged for 12 months in small, used oak barrels. Following traditional bottle fermentation, the wine matures on the lees for around 20 months – resulting in depth, refined maturity, and an exceptionally elegant mousse.

Wine Description
The lively mousse carries the ripe, juicy red fruit of the 2023 vintage with remarkable freshness and tension. On the nose, intense cherry aromas, dark berries and a delicate spice unfold; on the palate, it is dense, clear and at the same time highly animating.
Food Pairing
A characterful companion to dark meats, game dishes, or flavorful barbecue. It also pairs beautifully with pasta in rich sauces or as a bold contrast to dark chocolate – expressive, versatile, and full of style.
