A rarity in the Alpine region are locations with a microclimate in which even red late varieties reach the stage of full ripeness. Loam Cabernet-Merlot owes its exceptional character to its weather-protected location and the special nature and heat-storage capacity of the soil in its vineyards. A long winter delayed the spring awakening of the vines until the beginning of April. The budding was followed by a further cooling period, which delayed full bloom. The turbulent weather continued with a warm June and a wet July, which ideally prepared the soil for the beginning of the ripening process. Dry weeks in August with exceptionally low night temperatures and a sunny autumn ensured picture-perfect weather. There were short periods of rain at the end of September and beginning of October, but many warm days and increasingly cooler nights dominated the harvest season. This began about 10 days later than the usual annual average and also yielded significantly lower quantities. The profound white wines of 2021 delight with their very pronounced freshness and particularly fine fruit aromas, while the concentrated red wines impress with a ripe tannin structure and fresh fruit body. Color: intense ruby red. Smell: Pleasantly fruity - fine, tart aromas of wild cherry and black currant, dark chocolate, fine herbal, slightly ethereal notes. Taste: Full-bodied and juicy, hints of cedar wood, dried fruit and red berry aromas, with fine-grained tannin, salty minerality.
