Spätburgunder Steinkreuz 2021

Tasting note

The Spätburgunder Steinkreuz shines in the glass with a bright ruby red. The powerful fruit aroma of sour cherry is brilliantly brought out. Fine scents of elderberry and mint reflect the liveliness of the Spätburgunder Steinkreuz. On the palate, the fresh acidity and the fine tannin invigorate the senses. The tannin is flattering on the palate and promises a great future. A long and delicate aftertaste makes you want more. The yield is 30 hl/ha and the grapes were harvested very early and fully ripe.

Terroir

The grapes for the Spätburgunder Steinkreuz come from the Obereggener Sonnenstück.
The heavy clay soils with high humus contents offer the ideal conditions for the Spätburgunder Steinkreuz. On the one hand, this soil, which is reddish due to iron deposits and is sometimes very rocky, forces the vines to have very deep roots, and on the other hand, this terroir releases very useful trace elements and minerals to the grapes, which can be tasted in the wines.
