Very fine elegant aroma. Unripe blackberries, a hint of cassis and sweetish, tart aromas reminiscent of cocoa nibs. Present but well integrated, soft acidity. The somewhat unripe blackberry is also evident on the palate, as well as some dried cranberries. The tannin is very fine-grained. Location & Terroir Vineyard: The cuvée of our new "Assmannshäuser Spätburgunder-Ortswein" comes from our three vineyards in Assmannshausen. ORTSWEINE are ambassadors for their community. They generally come from high quality, characterful and traditional vineyards within a locality. Our Assmannshäuser Ortswein comes specifically from Höllenberg, Frankenthal and Hinterkirch. It reflects the typical aromas from Assmannshausen with cassis aromas and a fine acid structure. The wines are released two years after the harvest. Terroir: slate weathering
