Product information "Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2015"
The Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Cabernet with aromas of dark fruit and delicious nuances of tobacco and cedar wood. On the palate it shows currant, cassis and sweet oak as well as perfectly integrated tannins, followed by a long and impressive finish. A highly endowed Cabernet Sauvignon of master class!

The grapes were harvested by hand and sorted with great care, berry by berry, so that only the purest fruit could be used in the further production process. The grapes were destemmed and, depending on the terroir, pumped into stainless steel tanks and open lagares, where the juice was regularly pumped over for optimal extraction of colour and aromas. After the primary fermentation, the three weeks of maceration took place before pressing. The wine then matured for 22 months in new French oak barrels.
