The vines grow on the calcareous, loess, and marl soils of Rheinhessen, whose excellent water retention and mineral character lend the grapes structure and finesse. The comparatively warm climate allows for full phenolic ripening, while cool nights preserve freshness. Sustainable viticulture and selective hand-harvesting form the basis for a Cabernet Franc with a clear origin and distinctive character.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExpansion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter careful hand-harvesting, the grapes are selected and traditionally fermented on the skins. This controlled fermentation allows for a gentle extraction of color, aromas, and fine-grained tannins. The wine then matures for several months in used wooden barrels or small oak casks, depending on the style. This aging process adds further depth without masking the varietal characteristics.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma \u0026amp; Taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe bouquet combines blackcurrant, sour cherry, and blackberry with the typical Cabernet Franc notes of bell pepper, violet, and fresh herbs.
