Tasting note

Intense ruby-red colour. The bouquet brings together Cabernet Sauvignon’s blackcurrant notes and Merlot’s ripe plum aromas. Classic earthy nuances and toasted notes follow, accompanied by dried flowers and leaves, rounded off by a hint of liquorice. The palate offers impressive structure, powerful tannins and excellent acidity. The extremely intense finish reveals dried fruit, leather and a subtle mineral note.

Terroir

The Krauthaker winery is located in the Kutjevo winegrowing area in Slavonia, where viticulture has a history and tradition spanning centuries. The unique soil enriches the wine with minerals from Europe’s oldest mountains. Krauthaker’s vineyards lie at a latitude of 45.3°, the same latitude as the famous winegrowing regions of Istria, Piedmont, the Rhône Valley, Bordeaux and Oregon.
