Winery/Brand: Hochkirch
The nose shows intense blackcurrant and stemmy Cabernet characters overlaid with a lovely floral element. The palate is smooth with an earthy minerality and very fine silky tannins. Perfect to ponder over on a cold night.
Fruit is handpicked and partially destemmed into small open fermenters with natural wild ferment in its own time and gentle hand plunging. After a long slow ferment, pressed and gravity transferred to small fine grained French oak, natural malolactic ferment occurred with the warmth and new life of spring. Falling bright with gravity our wines are neither fined nor filtered and in some years show an opaque richness as testament to this natural process. Bottled by hand using natural corks, our wine of course contains no animal products or GMOs." John Nagorcka
