The Character

Overall Pure & Polished
Aromas Dark berries, delicate spices, florals
Mouthfeel Silky & Vivacious
Tasting Notes It opens with a pure and polished, finely reductive and still bloody and meaty nose with aromas of dark berries, iron, delicate spices and floral notes. Silky and vital on the palate, this is a dense but first of all very fine and elegant red wine with delicate tannins and vivacious freshness. - WA
Pairings Enjoy with game meat, hearty stews
Awards 90pts Wine Advocate

The Story

About Nittnaus

Brand Story

Nittnaus’ cellar practices serve to highlight the energetic and lovely character of their abundantly healthy fruit: they employ only spontaneous fermentations; and, for aging, they favor 500-liter Stockinger casks, whose tight-grained, low-toast, low-impact construction allows for maximal expressiveness and facilitates ultra-modest sulfur additions. --RWM
